Description

An exceptional specimen of a giant hermit crab, perfectly preserved and housed inside a white shell belonging to the Tonnidae family, Tonna galea, known for its rounded and lightweight shape. The crustacean, Dardanus megistos, stands out for its vivid orange carapace covered with visible spines and dark bristles, making it incredibly scenic. Prominent black eyes and long antennae give it an alert and lifelike appearance, as if still alive.
A decorative curiosity for a Wunderkammer: the cabinets of wonders that gathered treasures from the natural, scientific and artistic worlds. The contrast between the bristly robustness of the crab and the pure elegance of the shell creates a fascinating visual balance.
Perfect for collectors, museums, scientific exhibitions or for those who simply wish to bring home a surprising fragment of the marine world. Each specimen is unique and carries the power of the sea and the wonder of natural evolution.
