Intertidal walk today.

Photographed some interesting marine stuff today. Four new ones that I have not had earlier. I have seen these crabs on other trips but this one looks really strange, a Decorator crab, Oregonia gracilis.

Cool beans 8) I've heard of them but never seen them! I don't think I'll use him as my decorator

 

I agree with Deanna, here. What an ugly little creature. I think it needs to hire a new decorator.

 

I wouldn't have known it was a crab if you hadn't told us. Guess his disguise works! :-D

 

Lol,..the little fellow does warrant a comment on his attire,..he visits market stalls.

Well captured,..i have never seen one in reality,..maybe i just met one better dressed,..thank's for sharing this one.

 

Thank you all for your comments. They are strange how they cover themselves with so much stuff.

 

I just love those little critters.

What an odd creature. Nice find!
