It is a member of the family Inachidae. DistributionThe Cape long-legged spider crab is found from 15 to at least 35 m underwater, from the Cape Peninsula to East London. It is endemic to this region. DescriptionThis crab has a small, arrowhead-shaped body, which may be 20 mm in height, and long, spindly legs, which may grow to {{convert|60|mm|abbr=on}} in length. Its pincers are considerably sturdier than its legs and are tipped with white claws. The body is pinkish or reddish, and the legs and pincers are usually a darker red.[1] EcologyThe animals often decorate themselves with hydroids or algae, and are often found on sea fans.
