You mistyped there Aquagility - The plant is eyebright.

Plants though are not decapods!

Then whoever entered the info on http://www.phy.hr/~matko/DICTIONARY/v003/wb191 3_e.html must have made the mistake. The plant is definitely eyebright.

I have been unable to find a decapod crustacean serving the same purpose - maybe the compiler of the quiz question has made a mistake?
