How to catch Deep-Sea Coral Crab
Use the Shellfish Tongs. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.
- Equip the Shellfish Tongs and search the intertidal zone along the beach.
- Approach crabs slowly. They scuttle away if you rush, and some hide under broken seashells or coral branches.
First catch: the creature is added to the Omnidex. Offer it to Mors at the Omni-Gallery to put it on display and unlock its Omnipedia entry.

The deep-sea coral crab remains a mysterious species.
Generally, coral crabs live in symbiosis with coral in near-shore coral reef areas. However, deep-sea coral crabs were first discovered in depths exceeding 200 meters.
Exactly what led to their separation from their kin and their dive into the depths remains a topic for research.
