Everything about Acanthacaris totally explained
Acanthacaris is a
genus of
lobsters and the only genus in the family
Neophoberinae. They are relatively large lobsters with a cylindrical body covered with sharp
spines (hence the genus name, meaning "spiny
shrimp"). The
carapace has a well-developed
rostrum. The eyes are very small and lack
pigment, while the antennae are long and whiplike. The
telson and
uropods are powerful. The first three pairs of walking legs end in
claws. The first pair of claws is symmetrical, and ends in long fingers covered with sharp spines on cutting edges, but without hairs. Second pair of walking legs is much longer than the third pair. These lobsters reach a length of 40 cm.
Acanthacaris caeca is found in the
Caribbean Sea, in burrows at a depth of 290-870
m.
Acanthacaris tenuimana is found in the
Indian and
Pacific Oceans, on muddy bottoms at a depth of 600-1670m.
