Strawberry Crab

Earlier this year, a new species of crab was found off the coast of Taiwan. This crab has a red shell with white bumps on top of it which is how it was coined the name 'strawberry' crab. This crab seems to be related to other species from Hawaii and areas of the sort. They have found several of these crab and are noted for their distinct 'clam-shaped' shell.
