Jonas Rathaj

Selected by Jonas Rathaj
We present a masterfully prepared specimen of Dardanus megistos inside its shell. This specimen embodies the wonders of nature and could be the highlight of your collection. This large crab has a red body with white eyes covered in red hairs. The crab is gonochoristic, omnivorous and performs courtship rituals. It usually lives inside a gastropod shell, revealing only the cephalothorax and legs. This beautiful hermit crab has chosen a shell of the genus Phaliu as its home. Note that the shell has holes/breaks, but remains solid. From the island of Bantayan PH
