The pea crab, Pinnotheres pisum, is a small
crab that lives symbiotically in
oyster and
mussel shells. They are about the size of a
pea but can be up to the size of a small
walnut. It is also commonly called the oyster crab. They have a large tail flap that is used to cover eggs under the body when they are breeding, adding to the spherical appearance.
