Camposcia Retusa - Decorator Crab
The Camposcia Retusa, also known as the Decorator Crab, is a fascinating aquatic marine creature that catches attention due to its impressive ability to decorate its surroundings. These small crabs, found in tropical waters in Asia and Africa, among other regions, have a unique way of adorning themselves by collecting and attaching various materials.
Measuring a dainty 5 to 10 centimeters in size, the Camposcia Retusa is renowned for its bright colors and delicate claws. However, what sets it apart is its creative inclination to design its habitat. They gather shells, algae, small stones, and other colorful objects, skillfully arranging them on their backs. This remarkable behavior serves not only as camouflage from predators but also gives them a uniquely aesthetic appearance.
