User's notes

This tiny crab was sighted trying to hide against a pebble on the flats during low tide. It was one of many such crabs. Close inspection shows the crab with a well-developed algal growth on its claws and shell so it may be fully grown and this is possibly the size of this species. The final image shows the crab trying to hide in plain sight.
