This was a 20 min timed survey with some opportunistic crabs thrown in as we were walking back from the beach. Some of the larger carapaces are graceful crabs but the last marginal tooth is very very hard to see. Looks like there is one kelp crab head and maybe a red rock crab?? We had the full bodies for 34 crabs and they were all male. The marginal teeth on some of the tiny crabs were too small to see the teeth… there may be a lot of graceful crabs in there that were too small to confirm.
