Here is an unusual crab species from Down Under. It is Trichopeltarion greggi from New Zealand. Normally, only the carpace of the crabs are found on this species. They are a deep sea spiny crab with many frilly spines around the edge of the shell. This specimen displays the frills quite well. The detail is very nice, and the orange-white color is striking and fully natural. This is a nice, large example of this rare, ornate crab from New Zealand.
A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS is included with this specimen.
