Short description Morphology
Carapace ovate, surfaces smooth; 8 large teeth on each anterolateral margin (often with smaller denticles between them); front divided into 2 distinct lobes, separated by distinct V-shaped cleft. Carpus of cheliped with 2 spines on inner margin. Pincers are very large and unequal, the arm has 1 to 3 spines on the upper border (Ref. 128968). Color: red to reddish brown overall.
Adults are often found in shallow waters and coral reefs (Ref. 128968). Marginal levels of toxicity were detected in this species which may contribute to human poisoning (Ref. 107779).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
