Dromidiopsis cf tridentata Borradaile, 1903
20mm (body)

This species of sponge crab seems to have a preference for tunicates. We saw these on the slope near Tulamben. A very similar crab is figured in Ryanskiy (2020) as Dromidiopsis lethrinusae. The name D. tridentata is from a suggestion in the Crustacean Identification Group on Facebook.
