Field Notes

Description:

Small, dark shelled crab. Equal sized claw.

I believe this is (Hemigrapsus oregonensis) but this guy came a long way to get to shore.

Habitat:

This crab was living on an underwater float that locals had placed about a half mile out from shore as a means to cultivate mussels.
