Pink Hairy Squat Lobster - (Lauriea siagiani)

Part Dr. Seuss, part arachnophobe's nightmare, this beguiling marine crustacean known as the “pink hairy squat lobster” (Lauriea siagiani) is not a lobster at all. Also called a fairy crab, the "lobster" belongs to the group of crabs called Anomurans and is just a half-inch long.
