Main Ref. Felder, D.L., F. Alvarez, J.W. Goy and R. Lemaitre, 2009
Remarks Found on eelgrass meadows. Generalist feeder. Consumes clinging jellyfish Gonionemus medusae, an unusual crab-jellyfish trophic relationship. In the study, spider crab mortality increased with Gonionemus sp. consumption; all of the crabs tested died within 24 hours of consuming jellyfish (Ref. 116461).
