Some crab shelves. The first is a calappa species holding an urchin and adorned with sea stars.

The second is a jar of baby dungeness crab molts with a shore crab and parrot feathers.

SHAME-FACED CRAB (Calappa)

Cositos :), 2017. “Calappa granulata” 

Otherwise known as box crabs for their somewhat cuboidal exoskeleton, the shame-faced crabs comprising the genus Calappa were named for the wide chelae (claws) that shield their mouthparts, looking bizarrely like someone hiding their face in embarrassment. As far as we know, they haven’t done anything shameful, but there’s always time.
