Dromia personata is a species of crab found in the North Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and connecting parts of the northeastern Atlantic Ocean.[4] It grows up to a carapace length of 53 millimetres (2.1 in), and lives mainly from the lower shore to a depth of 8 metres (26 ft),[5] or occasionally to 100 metres (330 ft), and often in caves.[4] The last two pairs of legs are positioned dorsally,[5] and are used by young crabs to hold a sponge in place as camouflage.[4]
