Info

Actaea grimaldii Ng & Bouchet, 2015

A new species of xanthid crab, Actaea grimaldii, is described from the coral reefs of Papua New Guinea. This species has a distinctive red and white coloration.

Belonging to the family Xanthidae, they possess a toxin similar to tetrodotoxin found in pufferfish. These toxins are not only highly toxic, they are also heat-resistant and cannot be destroyed by cooking!
