Trapezia intermedia is a species of guard crabs in the family Trapeziidae. [1]
Trapezia intermedia, also known as the common guard crab in Hawai'i, is about 1.5 cm (0.59 in) in size and lives in the central Pacific ocean. It has light brown and orange spotting over its body with red dots and blue eyes. These crabs are very protective of their home which can be found in between branches of coral which they hide among when they feel threatened. [2]
