Description:
Lopholithodes foraminatus caught by Joe Watson of Campbell River BC at 110-130 m depth in a crab trap near Twin Island in the Strait of Georgia, Canada. This is a large male. The distinctive foramen created by the legs can be seen to the left, between the base of the chela and the next leg, lined with smooth purple and white cuticle.
