RED POLKA DOT JERSEY

Rust-Spotted Guard Crabs (Trapezia rufopunctata), Watamu National Marine Park, Kenya 🇫🇷 La carapace de ces crabes me fait penser aux couleurs du maillot du meilleur grimpeur sur le Tour de France.

Il se nourrit de tissu corallien et de mucus, et en retour défend les coraux contre des prédateurs. 🇬🇧 The shell of these crabs reminds me of the jersey of the best climber on the Tour de France. This genus lives in association with hard corals, hiding deep in their branches. It feeds on coral tissue and mucus and, in turn, defends the corals against predators.
