Decorator crab [Vic High Marine Biology]
Decorator crab Oregonia gracilis
Oregonia gracilis, commonly known as the graceful decorator crab, is
a species of crab belonging to the family Oregoniidae. Like other
decorator crabs it habitually attaches other organisms to its back. The
sessile organisms are attached to hooked setae that act as a sort of
velcro attachment. This decoration provides visual and chemical
camouflage thus reducing predation risk. (Wikipedia)
