In many of our images of this species, the crab is almost undistinguishable from the background being completely covered with algae and invertebrates. This individual, in contrast, apparently covered with tunicates, stands out well posing on Corynactis anemones. Dept 16 m.

Though there are many bumps and small spines on this species' carapace, it does not have the prominent, laterally-directed spines behind the eyes that Oregonia gracilis has.

The long spines which make up the rostrum can be clearly seen from below
