Image of ivory pea crab

Description:
The legs are flattened, translucent with darker spots or reticulations, and are fringed with long, abundant plumose setae. It can also be seen that the dactyls and the propodus of the walking legs are of approximately equal length (though the dactyls are mostly extended downward in this photo and may appear shorter), and that the dactyls are nearly straight. Notice that the last leg is much shorter than the others.
