Rare crab, great colors.
Found this unique crab on a tidal walk yesterday. Really amazing.

Beautiful crawly creature! We have the horseshoe crabs in abundance now. They are mating and laying their eggs in the surf. The migrating red knots and other birds eat their eggs before they continue on their long journeys.
I have to say that I've never seen a crab like yours!

It was a great day out I photographed a lot of stuff, some were really amazing. This is a red nudibranch with its egg rings on its main food source the red sponge.

Nature is amazing...and strange. Most people have no clue--I'm one of them. Thanks for the picture and the education. |

Thank you all for the posts. It is great to be able to get well out on to the rocks etc with these low tides. Have another outing on the 13th and the following week, popping off down thw Oregon coast to sea what there is down there this year.
