Record status Field dossier Observed archive standing
Species description
Reefknuckle are broad-bodied crustacean-like fenborn with two reinforced striking forelimbs and smaller dexterous feeding arms. They break dead coral rubble and shell to reach prey rather than attacking living reef structure.
Field note
Their rubble clearing exposes hard surfaces where new coral larvae can settle. Decorative shell markets target the thick forelimb plates, encouraging illegal harvest of the largest breeding adults.
Placement & contact
Reef-conflict rescue, confiscation rehabilitation, breakwater relocation, and later supervised coastal placement.
