Coral reef crab named after Harry Potter characters
16 years after its discovery, the crustacean is labeled a new species

ACCIO CRAB! A newly identified crab species from Guam (Harryplax severus) is named after Harry Potter, the main character in J.K. Rowling’s popular books, and Harry Conley, who discovered the crab and had a knack for finding rare sea creatures, as if by magic.
