The pink porcupine crab is a highly unusual species of king crab with crazy exaggerated spines on its head and body. What is fascinating about this decapod’s appearance is how incredibly long the spines are relative to its body, covering the entire surface and even branching from the very front of its head. The way the spines are distributed and how they branch from all parts of the body makes us think that the overall genetic programming responsible for it has some out of control fractals.
最近，这只美丽的动物被瑙蒂斯（Nautilus）居住在加勒比海的Anageda通道中的一项深水潜水任务中拍摄并收集。虽然它可能位于世界的热带地区，但螃蟹是在压力高度高且温度令人难以置信的冷的深度深处收集的。
虽然上面有这个小家伙可能看起来很可爱又不现实，但我们怀疑这是像这样的少年形式Neolithodes grimaldii并应该成长为从甲壳中开发的那些过多的刺。在这里提到的海面时，这里图片的标本大约是人类的大小，而相关的大螃蟹可以长到更大和值得海鲜的大小。
这些可爱的小粉红色豪猪蟹的图片确实令人着迷，但您还可以在其自然深海环境中看到短暂的粉红色豪猪蟹Nautilus Live。
