The word "pictor" in Latin means painter.

Its appearance is a body of 8–10 cm (3.1–3.9 in), somewhat fan-shaped and usually red to orange with strikingly mosaic-like patterns of large white spots.

Its pincers are short, both about equal size, with black tips.

[1] Lophozozymus pictor is found in China, Indonesia, Japan, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, and lastly, French Polynesia.

It lives along the coral areas of Batangas, Mindoro, Sorsogon, Negros Oriental, and Samar.
