Expert article on some bread and crab, for example (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crustacean

'crab for example' is the definition.
(crab is a kind of crustacean)

'expert article on some bread' is the wordplay.
'expert' becomes 'ace' (ace is a kind of expert**).
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'some bread' becomes 'crust' (I've seen this before).
'ace'+'an'='acean'
'acean' after 'crust' is 'CRUSTACEAN'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for crustacean that I've seen before include "Hard-shelled arthropod" , "crab, for example?" , "Perhaps crab" , "life form with hard case" , "Such as a barnacle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
