22 dungeness, mostly under 15mm; 7 hairy helmet; 2 purple shore; 1 hairy shore; 4 red rock, and one we are unsure about. Could it be a pea crab? Or a shore crab that is difficult to identify because of it’s small size (9mm width).

Hi Catherine, Thanks for another incredibly useful report from Waldron! Unfortunately, we don’t have quite the photo resolution on this end to take a second look at that mystery crab with you this time. In the future, you’re welcome to submit a second, close-up of those tricky ones you’re curious about; we’re always happy to get you an ID on those new or tough ones! Happy Searching!
