Parribacus antarcticus, the Sculptured Slipper Lobster.
Circumtropical but mainly caught out of the tropical West Atlantic for
aquarium use. Nocturnal, and wary of humans. Capable of great bursts of
strength, speed in swimming backward. One out at night
off of Hawai'i's Big Island. |

All members of the phylum Echinodermata are readily distinguished
by:
1) The presence of a water-vascular system (tube
feet) used in locomotion and food manipulation. Pictured is a
close-up of an Urchin, Tripneustes ventricosus, in the
shallows of Belize, showing its defensive and manipulating tube
feet. And a close-up of the five-rowed arms of a Seastar at
S.I.O.'s Birch Aquarium. |

microstructured calcareous skeleton. A close up of the
surface of a Batstar, Patiria miniata reveals interlocking
elements. |
