Hepatus epheliticus "Calico Crab"
Calico Crabs have predominantly white shells, but they are decorated with large purple or pinkish spots on their carapace, and stripes on their legs. These are shame-face type crabs, with rounded shells and specialized claws that can from a sheild over the crab's face.
These are unique crabs, and they grow to about 4 inches wide. They spend a good majority of their time buried in the sand bed, and they should be supplied with a bed at least 2-3 inches deep. They merge at night to scavenge for food. These crabs should not be trusted with delicate corals or inverts, but should not harm fish.
