Info
Pseudograpsus albus Stimpson, 1858
A very small flat crab with a shell width of 10 mm. Overall cream colored with light brown spots. The top of the carapace is flattened and smooth.
The Little White Crab is found under coral rocks on coral sand in relatively dry habitats, as it is always found near the supralittoral zone. It is perfectly camouflaged and can easily go unnoticed without careful examination of the ground.
