About Atergatis integerrimus

Atergatis integerrimus, commonly known as the red egg crab, is a striking xanthid crab found across the Indo-Pacific region, from the Red Sea and East Africa through to the Pacific Islands. Immediately recognisable by its smooth, rounded carapace and vivid red to orange-red colouration, it is one of the most visually arresting crabs in the Indo-Pacific and a highly sought-after specimen for natural history collections. A member of the family Xanthidae — the largest family of crabs — it is known to be toxic if consumed, a defence mechanism that adds to its scientific interest. Its bold colouration, clean carapace lines, and compact, well-proportioned form make it an exceptional display specimen that brings striking colour and visual impact to any 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.
