Dekeyseria brachyura (Kner, 1854) - add this species to your "My Cats" page.
Another reason for misidentification of this fish is that its night-time colouration is totally different from that it has during the day.
brachyura is more orange when you compare them directly.

 Crab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term crab is often applied to several different groups of short (nose to tail) decapods with thick exoskeletons, but only members of the Brachyura are true crabs; other taxa, such as hermit crabs, porcelain crabs, king crabs, and horseshoe crabs are, despite superficial similarities, not crabs at all.
True crabs are crustaceans in the suborder Brachyura, in the order Decapoda.
They have five pairs of walking legs (the first of which is modified into a pair of claws or chelae) and typically a flattened shell.

 [No title]
At present, it is feasible to recognize the progressive differentiation from fossil to recent forms, but the high diversity of the Brachyura and the occurrence of convergent and regressive cases of evolution preclude the establishment of clear pathways of evolution.
The German carcinologist Ortmann, in contrast, was in favor of deriving the Brachyura from an ancestral forra with Anomuran affinities between the Paguridae and the Galatheidae.
During the Jurassic Period when the Brachyura started to evolve, the Tethys Sea was a seaway that separated two megacontinents, Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south, thus allowing free communication with the Indo-Pacific, the Mediterranean, and the Central Atlantic: (Ekman, 1953).

Throughout the whole, the researches made since 1860 have not only added a great throng of new species, genera and families, but have thrown a flood of light upon questions of their phylogeny, systematic arrangement, horizontal and bathymetric distrjbution, organization, habits of life and economic importance.
Between the Brachyura and Macrura some authors uphold an order Anomura, though in a much restricted sense, the labors of Huxley, Boas, Alcock and conjointly Alphonse Mime-Edwards and Bouvier, having resulted in restoring the Dromiidea and Raninidae to the Brachyura, among which de Haan long ago placed them.
The French authors argue that from the macruran lobsters (Nephropsidae) anciently diverged two lines: one leading through the Dromiidea to the genuine Brachyura; or crabs, the other independently to the Anomura proper, which may conveniently be named and classed as Macrura anomala.

Dissertation “Die Magenstrukturen der Brachyura (Crustacea, Decapoda), Morphologie und phylogenetische Bedeutung.”- (The foregut structures of the Brachyura, morphology and phylogenetic significance.) within the Graduate Colleg “Evolutionary Transformations and Mass Extinction” at the Humboldt University Berlin.
To address questions of evolutionary transformations within the Brachyura from the mid-Jurassic to the present, as a first step the reconstruction of the phylogenetic relationships of the extant brachyuran taxa is necesarry.
With a well supported phylogenetic system of the Brachyura including the available fossil data it will be possible to answer questions concerning the influence of the K/T – boundary on the species diversity of the Brachyura.

 Myrmotherula ignota
All three of these taxa are very similar, differing primarily in the relative proportion of fl vs. white in the fl-and-white streaking that dominates the plumage.
Later authors, including AOU (1998), have retained ignota as conspecific with brachyura but noted that it might be a distinct species, or belong with obscura.
Myrmotherula brachyura while grossly similar to the other two taxa, differs in the number of notes, in pace (faster), and in acceleration (the song speeds up in the last half of the song dramatically, almost becoming a roll, while the pace increases only slightly in the other two).
