Image of Brown box crab
Description:
In this closeup of the face the small spinelike rostrum can be seen. Other features include the spine-tipped tubercles on the dorsal carapace and on the dorsal surfaces of the legs and chelae. Note that in Anomuran crabs the second antennae are based lateral to the eyes, as can be seen here. Photo by Will Duguid.
