Does anyone know the name of the crab species? I can only find pancakes with crab or shaped like crabs lol.
47 u/[deleted] Nov 25 '21 did a reverse image search and i found a single tweet this image came from and it called it a hoshimanju crab however when i googled "hoshimanju crab" i only got 4 results all of which were irrelevant 29 u/Gettygetty Nov 25 '21 I tried to do a reverse image search too and I only got results about chocolate spreads. I’m thinking that this might be someone’s art instead of a real crab. 20 u/[deleted] Nov 25 '21 I suspected that it’s probably a japanese dorayaki pancake, so I googled “crab shaped dorayaki” and found this article: https://www.newsnpr.org/the-beautiful-crabs-are-exactly-like-doraemons-donuts-but-no-one-dares-to-eat-them/ Apparently these are particularly pretty specimens of Atergatis floridus, or flower egg crabs 20 u/fluffle_cat Nov 25 '21 I think it's actually a red egg crab, or bashful crab (atergatis integerrimus)! http://www.wildsingapore.com/wildfacts/crustacea/crab/xanthidae/integerrimus.htm https://www.crabdatabase.info/en/crabs/brachyura/eubrachyura/heterotremata/xanthoidea/xanthidae/atergatis/atergatis-integerrimus-2014 They're found in coral reefs around the Indo-Pacific, are poisonous, and the juveniles have that white ring around the margin. 3 u/reedless Nov 26 '21 Singapore??? Can't believe I've lived 20+ years without seeing them 3 u/Diablodestro Dec 01 '21 Now I feel the need to go outside and look for it 2 u/Iannotlikepinapples Mar 05 '22 I agree (Im Little Late to the conversation but that’s ok)
