Field Notes

Description:

Gray with claws disproportional to body size.

Habitat:

Rocky coastline, tide pools; saltwater.

Notes:

I have only found one other picture of a crab like this one, and the photographer there did not know the species either.

These crabs are small but numerous along rocky shoreline. Their claws seem to be more proportional to their body size as they grow.
