Periscope- or Long Eyed Swimming Crab - Podophtalmus vigilThe long eyed swimming crab is a fairly common crab, native to waters from the Red Sea to the Hawaiian islands. It serves as an important source of meat in these areas.
Most interesting of this crab are the long eye stalks it possesses. While all crustaceans have stalked eyes, P. vigil took this a bit too far. Sometimes reaching further than the lateral carapace, the eyes are believed to function just like in ghost crabs, here the eyes play an important role in attracting a mate. Ghost crabs live on sandy beaches though, while swimming crabs swim through open water; it’s not sure the eyes serve the same function.
