Is there a variation in diversity of attached organisms on the carapaces of Loxorhynchus crispatus between sites and does their carapace accurately reflect the immediate substrate found on? L. crispatus, or decorator crab, removes epifaunal organisms to decorate its carapace. Organisms adhere by a series of small hooks or hairs on the carapace and are left on the shell after a molt. An observational study using SCUBA will compare crab carapaces between sites and carapaces to substrates.
