Hairy Crab (Pilumnus minutus) – Preserved Crab Specimen

The Hairy Crab (Pilumnus minutus), also known as the Pilumnus Crab, is a small marine crab distinguished by the dense hairs covering its carapace and claws. These fine hairs help trap sediment and algae, providing effective camouflage among coral reefs, rocky shorelines, and rubble habitats. Native to tropical and subtropical Indo-Pacific waters, this species is admired for its unique texture and intricate appearance.

This professionally preserved specimen showcases the crab's hairy exoskeleton, compact body, and detailed 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 this fascinating reef-dwelling species.
