Calappa hepatica (Order: DECAPODA, Family: CALAPPIDAE) – A museum-quality hepatic box crab specimen in A1 condition, expertly dry-preserved and unmounted for collectors, educators, and natural history enthusiasts.
Calappa hepatica, commonly known as the hepatic box crab, is a distinctive and visually striking calappid crab widely distributed across the Indo-Pacific, from the Red Sea and East Africa through to the Pacific Islands. Members of the family Calappidae are immediately recognisable by their highly domed, box-like carapace and enlarged, flattened claws that fold neatly against the body — giving them their common name and a uniquely compact, sculptural appearance unlike any other crab family. The carapace of C. hepatica is beautifully ornamented with a distinctive pattern of granules and ridges, and its warm brownish-orange colouration makes it a particularly attractive display specimen. A remarkable and architecturally striking addition to any natural history collection.
Perfect for marine biologists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, interior designers seeking authentic cabinet-of-curiosities aesthetics, and anyone passionate about the remarkable diversity of the natural world.
