Potamon rhodium, commonly known as the Rhodes freshwater crab and locally known as the Valley crab, is a semi- terrestrial crab endemic to the island of Rhodes, Greece. The unique pattern on the carapace seems to mimic a moth. [2]
Like other crabs in the family Potamidae, it is an omnivorous species, and males are larger than females. [3]
