Decorator crab Camposcia retusa is a popular marine ornamental species; however, it has never been bred previously. To establish a feeding regime for C. retusa larvae, which include two zoeal and a megalopal stage, three experiments were conducted.

The complete larval and first crab stages of the decorator crab Camposcia retusa (Latreille, 1829) are described and illustrated based on laboratory-reared material for the first time. Specimens were obtained from larvae hatched from adult crabs

The effects of salinity on the survival and development of zoeae and megalopae of the decorator crab, Camposcia retusa, were investigated by two separate experiments. When newly hatched zoeae were reared at salinities of 26, 29, 32, 35, 38, 41, and
