Pygmy Rock Crab

Glebocarcinus oregonensis

Description:

I found 3 or 4 of these in these tide pools, and a couple empty shells. You can see the brilliant purple of the shells in the last two photos. However, when they dried, much of the color was lost and faded to reddish purple and white

Habitat:

Tide pools
