echeng 0 Posted April 25, 2012 Anyone know what kind of purse crab this is? They were either fighting or mating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leslie 0 Posted April 25, 2012 I'd say a male & female either mating or the male carrying her around to make sure no other male can mate with her. Similar crabs are on the web as Leucosia pubescens - check out Teresa Zubi's site. In one of her shots both crabs are upside down & you can clearly see that one is male & one is female. http://www.starfish.ch/Fotos/crustaceans-G...-pubescens3.jpg http://www.starfish.ch/Fotos/crustaceans-G...-pubescens1.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
