What is the smallest crab?
Answers
The pea crab (Pinnothera faba) is the smallest crab in the world. Female pea crabs measure half an inch across at their largest, and male pea crabs are significantly smaller at less than a third of an inch wide. This small size, and a circular exoskeleton, earn the pea crab her common name. Pea crabs are parasitic, and spend their lives infesting mollusks, using oysters, mussels and clams to provide safety, oxygen and food. These tiny crustaceans do not feed on the mollusks themselves, but eat zooplankton and food elements the bivalves ingest.
