Common throughout the Indo-Pacific, the telescopic-eyed crab is available for consumption in almost every coastal market. Striking are the eponymous extremely long stalk eyes, which allow the animal a comprehensive all-round view.
The installation of the zoological specimen in the front glazed frame was made in a German taxidermy studio.
