Ebalia tuberosa, sometimes called Pennant's nut crab, is a species of crab in the family Leucosiidae.[2][3][4]

Distribution

This species is found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean.[5][6]

Habitat

Ebalia tuberosa lives in seawater at depths of 75–132 m (246–433 ft).[6]

Behaviour

Ebalia tuberosa eats small invertebrates, mainly annelids and other crustaceans, as well as organic debris, plant material, and sediment. They feed by probing the topmost layer of sediment with their chelae.[7]
