Fiadh waiting patiently to get a look the Squat Lobster (Galathea squamifera) I've picked up. I think she was hoping to see something a bit more snackable. 🤣🤣

It's #SpongeSunday! The cavities in the body of this long-stalked #Caulophacus #sponge give this resident white #squatlobster (#Munidopsis sp.) a room with a view, as well as protection from potential predators.

For the #SciArtSeptember prompt claws: A porcelain crab! Looks like a crab, has crab in its name…is it a crab? Nope. False crab. Porcelain crabs, Neopetrolisthes maculatus are decapod crustaceans in the family Porcellanidae, which resemble true crabs but are in fact closer related to squat lobsters. They have flattened bodies as an adaptation for living in rock crevices. 🧵1/2

I made a pattern of my linocut porcelain crab for #InsertAnInvert2024! Porcelain crabs, Neopetrolisthes maculatus are decapod crustaceans in the family Porcellanidae, which resemble true crabs but are in fact closer related to squat lobsters. These are 1 of at least 5 groups of decapod crustaceans which have evolved to be more crab-shaped in a process known as carsinisation. Find this on Spoonflower minouette shop

#SquatLobsters Guide Scientists To New #Hydrothermal Vent Field https://schmidtocean.org/squat-lobsters-guide-scientists-to-new-hydrothermal-vent-field/

"Scientists have discovered a new #HydrothermalVent field... when a Galatheid #crab, also known as a #SquatLobster, came into view. The number of #crabs grew until the #scientists finally arrived on the vent field and were excited to find giant #TubeWorms nestled around the hot water. The Ecuadorian observers onboard the vessel named the vent field Sendero del Cangrejo: Trail of the Crabs.”

A porcelain crab (Neopetrolisthes maculatus) for #InverteFest! They are decapod crustaceans in the family Porcellanidae, which resemble true crabs but are in fact closer related to squat lobsters. They have flattened bodies as an adaptation for living in rock crevices. They first appeared in the Tithonian age of the Late Jurassic epoch, 145-152 million years ago.
