These crabs decorate themselves with anemones and bryozoans. Sometimes they are very camouflaged. Smaller young are often confused with the sharpnose crab, which has somewhat broader claws and rostral horns which curve inward.
Males have significantly bigger and longer arms. Females and young are hairy and have smaller arms.
