    Hi Susan, You’re spot on that you found a young graceful crab in addition to your red rock and Dungeness. The little notches you noticed below its widest marginal teeth is the give-away. Thanks for including such a great photo to make our data verification step an easy one. Hope it was a nice time out there yesterday!
