Lumpy Rock Crab (Euxanthus exsculptus) – Preserved Crab Specimen

The Lumpy Rock Crab (Euxanthus exsculptus), also known as the Gorilla Crab, is a robust marine crab recognized for its heavily sculptured, lumpy carapace and powerful claws. Found throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific region, this species inhabits coral reefs, rocky shorelines, reef flats, and coral rubble, where its rugged appearance provides effective camouflage among rocks and corals.

This professionally preserved specimen showcases the crab's distinctive textured shell, strong claws, and intricate anatomical features. Carefully preserved to maintain its natural appearance, it is an excellent addition to marine biology collections, educational displays, museums, curiosity cabinets, and natural history collections.

Each specimen is individually prepared, making every crab a unique representation of one of the reef's most distinctive crustaceans.
