Galathea is a genus of squat lobsters in the family Galatheidae.[3] It is one of the largest genera of squat lobsters that in 2008 contained 73 species (17 in the Atlantic Ocean, 25 in the Indian Ocean and 43 in the Pacific Ocean)[2] (several more have been described more recently[3]). Most species of Galathea live in shallow waters.[2]
