Palau Crab $1 2003 Proof Color Survivor Island

$53.99

The term crab is often applied to several different groups of short decapod crustaceans with thick exoskeletons, but only members of the Brachyura are true crabs. Other taxa, such as hermit crabs, porcelain crabs and king crabs are, despite superficial similarities, not crabs at all; rather, they belong to the Anomura and can be distinguished from true crabs by counting the legs. In Anomura, the last pair of walking legs is hidden inside the carapace, so only four pairs are visible (counting the claws), whereas uninjured true crabs always have five visible pairs.

Palau Seahorse $1 Proof 2005 Survivor Island Marine-life

$44.99

Seahorses are found in temperate and tropical waters all over the world. They are notable for being one of only a few species where the males get pregnant. A seahorse pregnancy lasts approximately two to three weeks. Seahorses are also unusual among fish for being relatively monogamous. The seahorse is a true fish, with a dorsal fin located on the lower body and pectoral fins located on the head near their gills. Mostly transparent, these often don’t show in pictures and even with live animals most people do not see them at first. Seahorse populations have been endangered in recent years by overfishing. The seahorse is used in traditional Chinese herbology, and as many as 20 million seahorses may be caught each year and sold for this purpose.

Palau Scorpionfish 2002 $1 Proof Marine Life Series

$44.99

The scorpionfish or rockfish are a family of mostly marine fish that includes many of the world’s most venomous species. The family is a large one, with hundreds of members. They are widespread in tropical and temperate seas, but mostly found in the Indo-Pacific area. Some types, such as the lionfish, are attractive as well as dangerous. General characteristics of family members include a compressed body, ridges and/or spines on the head, one or two spines on the opercle, and three to five spines on the preopercle. The dorsal fin will have eleven to seventeen spines, often long and separated from each other, and the pectoral fins will be well developed, with eleven to twenty-five rays. The spines of the dorsal, anal, and pelvic fins all have venom glands at their bases. Most species are bottom-dwellers that feed on crustaceans and smaller fish, in some cases using the spines to paralyze their victims before gulping them. Others, such as the stonefish, wait in disguise for prey to pass them by before swallowing them.
