Aegla

Was wondering if anyone has any experience with these? Aegla are to squat lobsters as crayfish are to lobsters it seems like. Squat lobsters are actually closer to being crabs as well.

Have you seen mole crabs? They're anomurans too, like hermies... and they're ADORABLE.

I've never seen those for sale anywhere, did you find some? They look a little like a coconut crab from above.
