Info

Gonioinfradens paucidentatus (A. Milne-Edwards, 1861)

Portunid crabs are characterised by the flattening of the fifth pair of legs into broad paddles, which are used for swimming.[2] This ability, together with their strong, sharp claws, allows many species to be fast and aggressive predators.
