Trichia dromiaeformis is a crab that lives in the waters of the western Pacific, both the northern and southern hemisphere.[2][3] It was described as Zalasius dromiaeformis by Mary J. Rathbun in 1897, and this name is still sometimes used.[4][5][1] It was first described by De Haan in 1839.[6] It is of the genus Trichia, and family Xanthidae.[2] They are extremely camouflaged and live in sandy, muddy substrate. It grows shaggy hair on its dorsal side and the outside of its legs that resembles algae.[7]
