Pallenopsis macneilli Clark, 1963
Sea spiders are not true spiders, or even arachnids, their traditional classification as chelicerates would place them closer to true spiders than to other well-known arthropod groups, such as insects or crustaceans.
The sea spider Pallenopsis macneilli is known from Australia. The body is yellow-brown to orange, with blue stripes along the back. Grows up to 2 cm long.
This sea spider can be often found near the holdfasts of brown algae.
