A little furry


Last month we found a very small juvenile Furry Crab (Hapalogaster cavicauda).  The width of the carapace (the back) of the crab was only ~4 mm across.  It was clinging to a patch of pink Derby Hat Bryozoan (Eurystomella bilabiata) in the low intertidal zone.  

P.S.  I've written about this species before, so if you'd like to see what this crab looks like when it's older, check out the post called "Soft belly" on 21 February 2017.
