Mottled Lightfoot crab

白紋方蟹

Grapsus albolineatus

Has a flat body and long legs which allow it to move quickly across rocky shores.

扁平的身體和修長的腿令白紋方蟹能夠敏捷地在岩岸上攀爬和跳躍

When threatened, it will nosedive into the water to escape or slip into rock crevices for shelter.

當感到威脅時,白紋方蟹會俯衝入水逃生或滑入岩石裂縫中躲藏

Has many stripes and dots on its carapace and hence its common name “Mottled Lightfoot Crab”.

頭胸甲上有許多條紋和斑點,因而得名

Where to find?
