Title: New Strawberry Crab Discovered Off Coast of Taiwan
Post by: Foxy Brown on January 08, 2010, 07:37:03 PM

Marine biologists from the National Taiwan Ocean University discovered a new species of crab off the southern Taiwanese coast. With a bright red shell covered with small white spots, the crab resembles a large strawberry. Scientists at the University say that the newly discovered species is similar to the previously discovered Neoliomera pubescens, which is native to the waters near Hawaii, Polynesia and Mauritius--but has a broader (1 inch), clam-shaped shell that makes it a distinct new species.

If they're only 1" across, that's pretty tiny!
