Japanese Porcelain Crab
日本岩瓷蟹
Petrolisthes japonicus
1/1
Similar to crabs, but not classified as such because it has three pairs of legs instead of four. It also has a long antennae and walking legs.
儘管牠很像螃蟹，但您可以通過牠的一對長觸角和腿的數目（瓷蟹中有 3 對，螃蟹中有 4 對）將其與真正的螃蟹區分開來瓷蟹實際上屬於寄居蟹，與螃蟹不同
Has a flattened body allowing it to hide in rock crevices or under stones.
扁平的身體使牠可以隱藏在岩石裂縫或石頭下
When threatened, it will flee or even lose its arms and hence its name.
當受到威脅時，牠會逃跑甚至截去手臂，因此得名「瓷蟹」
