Description: The pea crab is a small crab in the family Pinnotheridae that lives symbiotically in oysters, clams, mussels and other species of bivalves. The crab is usually about the size of a pea but can grow as large as a small walnut. It is also commonly known as the oyster crab. Females have a large tail flap that is used to cover eggs attached to the bodies when they are breeding, adding to the spherical appearance.
