Marcel Alveri Adis Panulirus versicolor?

Ron Silver Yes, Painted Spiny Lobster, P. versicolor

Marcel Alveri Adis yeah. our team ever found this spesies eventhough just carapace. fortunately my id was right

Ron Silver Result of molting or someone melted the butter more quickly than you? LOL

Tom Hobock Now that's funny I don't care who you are lol

Marcel Alveri Adis

Ron Silver Nice. Not often you get to see an entire molt. It is very interesting to watch as the animal generally backs out of his old carapace and then seeks shelter while the new 'armor' hardens.

Stuart Pearce My old supervisor Simon Webster at Bangor University made his name from research into crustacean moulting, hormonal control (MIH) etc. he has some excellent published papers if anyone is wanting to learn about this subject in detail :)

Tom Hobock Yes please post them,Tom

Marcel Alveri Adis yeah . this is entire molt. it's lucky for our team to found this. yeah sorry if i said but not show the picture . ow yeah? there is paper of it? please share sir. eventhough maybe it hard to me to understand . i will learn.

Stuart Pearce Here is a link to his publications on crustacean moulting Marcel, they are heavy going, but he is one of the best in this field of research :) http://www.crustacean-biology.co.uk/publications.html

Marcel Alveri Adis thanks for share sir. yeah looks like it heavy. but maybe someday it useful for my study.
