Orangutan Crabs are actually part of the spider crab family, but they are much smaller than the Japanese Spider Crabs!

Here are some fun facts about the Orangutan Crab:

1) Their bodies are 1 - 0.8 inches long
2) They have long arms for their size
3) They are covered head to toe in fine reddish-orange fur!





Not much else is known about the Orangutan Crab because it was descovered in 1839 and is often found by bubble coral or in remote locations.
