What is the diet of the camouflage crab?

Answer:

  • Decorator crab research has centered on the areas of camouflage and dietary preference. In a study done by Kilar and Lou (1986) it was found that a decorator crabs' feeding selection is not independent of decorating activityhttp://www.thecephalopodpage.org/MarineInvertebrateZoology/Macr...
  • Observations of 129 crabs suggest that the colour depends neither on depth nor on size, intermoult period, diet, reproductive period but it might be connected to genetic factors and might help crab to camouflagehttp://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/klu/hydr/2006/00000557/00...
