Meet Strawberry Claws—a new species of hermit crab https://phys.org/news/2024-11-strawberry-claws-species-hermit-crab.html

A new species of #HermitCrab in the genus #Strigopagurus from the continental shelf off south-east #Queensland, #Australia https://www.museum.qld.gov.au/collections-and-research/memoirs/nature-65/mqm-n65-7-davie-mcnamara

"the #NewSpecies has several highly distinctive features. Most striking is its bright red claws, but it also has evolved its own unique method of producing underwater sound (#stridulation), much like #cicadas do in the air."

Next to some large cetaceans, we've also met Mr Crabbie, a crustacean, who was much smaller but much more photogenic for a mobile camera (look at those eyes!). After the photoshot, we watched him fight with another crab for a bigger shell (not sure whether he won or whether everyone got to keep their shells).
