The subtleties of camouflage and dietary preference of the decorator crab, Microphrys bicornutus Latreille (Decapoda: Brachyura)

The camouflage and feeding behavior of the decorator crab Microphrys bicornutus Latreille was studied on a Caribbean fringing reef. Field data collected during periods of high and low algal standing crop are compared with in vitro experiments, demonstrating that several prey and predator characteristics affect predator preference.
