A small crustacean of the Cirripedidae family (illustration). It is very commonly found growing in colonies attached to rock crevices in the intertidal zone of rocky coasts south of Honshu. It is named after its yellow, elongated triangular palm with a finger-like shell and a dark wrist, which at first glance resembles a turtle's paw. It is widely distributed from Honshu to the Malay Peninsula. Most bodies are about 3-4 cm in size and are divided into a head and a stalk. The head is flat and triangular, yellow, sometimes yellowish brown or yellowish green. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
