Description: Several photographs of this crab, Macropodia rostrata.
Long-legged Crab, Macropodia rostrata As its name suggests this crab has very long legs. It has a very triangular shell and it looks like a Daddy Long-legs. If it is caught in a net or stranded at low tide, it resembles a crumpled up twig. However, when under water it swims with a curious bicycle-like motion. It often places weed all over its legs and shell which gives it its other name of Decorator Crab. There are several species of crabs in the genus
