AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ibacus ciliatus (Slipper Lobster) – Philippines
A superbly preserved specimen of the slipper lobster (Ibacus ciliatus), a fascinating crustacean native to the warm coastal waters of the Philippine archipelago.
This species is characterized by its broad, flattened body and distinctively spade-shaped antennae, adaptations that allow it to glide effortlessly along sandy seabeds.
Expertly cleaned and prepared, the specimen reveals the intricate textural details of the exoskeleton, showcasing a remarkable blend of form and function. Its natural tones — from coral pink to muted ochre — highlight the subtle beauty of marine life’s structural diversity.
A captivating and educational piece, ideal for natural history collections, museum displays, or decorative study environments.
