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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BugsDirect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46594190475453,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1228\/7064\/files\/atergatisintegerrimusJv.jpg?v=1779202768","url":"https:\/\/www.bugsdirect.com\/products\/atergatis-integerrimus","provider":"BugsDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
