This squat, barnacle-crusted crab holds a glowing amber lantern up in one oversized claw, the bulb hanging in a dark bronze cage. Its chunky orange armour is mottled with rust, with pale barnacle clusters and green algae on its back. It lives among the Kelpwood’s rocks, where bubble trails mark its hotspots, and it digs in with a heavy, stubborn pull when hooked.

How to catch it
Section titled “How to catch it”- Look for rising bubbles: they mark a hotspot where Lantern Crab and its kind bite more often.
- The weather doesn’t change how often it bites.
- When it fights back it mostly dives. Slow your reeling down without stopping, then reel it in while it rests.
