Pea crab
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.
