Its species name 'pictor' means "painter," due to its beautiful colors and white splashes. This crab is toxic, as it absorbs the poison from the sea cucumbers it eats- which has lead to several accidental deaths in Singapore.

This specimen was accidental bycatch from the fishing industry. Nothing is killed for the artwork.

This piece is 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" with custom wood frame. Comes with sawtooth hanger.
