Small colonies of Conopeum tenuissimum are scattered on the carapace. Arrow points to the opening of a Sabellaria vulgaris tube in the right hepatic area. (B) Dorsal view of Panopeus herbstii female (23.5 mm CW; right cheliped and two left walking legs missing) with large Conopeum tenuissimum colony on right side spanning frontal, progastric, hepatic, and branchial areas; another colony on carpus of the left cheliped. One large colony of Alcyonidium albescens on left side (arrow).
