Sponge Crabs [Dromiidae]

Description

Dromiidae, known as sponge crabs, have a unique behavior of carrying sea sponges on their back for camouflage and protection. They use their rear pair of legs to hold the sponge over their carapace. Sponge crabs are found in various marine habitats, often in tropical and subtropical regions, where they live on rocky or sandy bottoms.
