Info

Alpheopsis equidactylus is a small snapping shrimp known only on the west coast of the USA, from Monterey to Santa Barbara (California).
The crab occurs on sandy and muddy soils of the continental shelf, but very little is known about it and its biology.

We thank Phil Garner, Southern California Marine Life, very much for his photo!
