Hi Stephen, congrats on your first Molt Search report on 6/18! From your great overhead photo included in the report, I can see that you found a red rock crab (top) and a graceful crab (bottom). Graceful crabs can often be confused with Dungeness but they are widest at the 9th marginal tooth and have a tiny notch along their bottom edge that is their 10th tooth. I will update your report to remove the Dungness data. Happy Molt Searching! Elyse (WSG Crab Team)
