It is a species illustration of the Floral Egg Crab (Atergatis floridus), a species of Xanthid crab with a broad Indo-Pacific distribution. On Jiigurru (Lizard Island), north Queensland, individuals can be observed in the shallow intertidal reefs that fringe the islands. The carapace has an intricate, bubble-and-foam like pattern that I really wanted to highlight as part of this illustration.
