Help ID -- Crab Hitchhiker
Can anybody ID this crab? He is to the right of the pic. Camouflaged very well with all those little white "hairs" on his shell.
https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/stepensk/shared/Crab1.JPG Got some Tampa Bay Cultured LR. Found two of those guys so. They seem to just pic algae of the rock. Thanks, Vitaly
