Munidopsis polymorpha is a species of squat lobster (also known as the blind albino cave crab) that is endemic to Lanzarote, Canary Islands. They are small, blind and pale, and can be found in the caves of Jameos del Agua, in lava tubes formed by volcanic eruptions 3,000 years ago.[1] Ovigerous females carry only two eggs which are relatively big in contrast to the numerous small eggs in other anomuran crustaceans.[2]
