Animal of the Month! . . The next crusty crab were featuring is our resident Sheep Crab. If you’re a local diver, you’re sure to be familiar with this Spider crab. Sheep Crab are the largest of the CA Spider Crab family - a male’s carapace can grow over a foot and a half in width. Catch them tucked amongst reefs and nestled in long eel grass. .... . Mostly a solitary animal, males and females congregate once a year during (spring) mating season. sheep crab hook rear to rear during mating, as seen in the photo. Give the lovers some space this spring if you see them mingling . : @kyle.mcb #sdexpeditions #crab #crustacean #sheepcrab #kelpforest #underwaterphotography #scubadiving #lajollacove #lajollashores See more

Animal of the Month! . . A roving 70’s shag carpet? Check again! This quirky crustacean is a decorator crab. .... . The resident spider crab is the fashionable cousin to the sheep and Dungeness crab. Using what’s available in the surrounding environment, these decorator crabs attach organisms to their shells for camouflage and protection. Like all crabs, decorators molt their shells as they grow. Following a strict leave no frill policy, the crab will recycle the algae, anemone, bryozoan, etc. it has collected and fasten it to the larger shell. . See these decorator crabs for yourself on one of our guided night dives! . : @pdemman #sdexpeditions #animalofthemonth #scubadiving #crab #decoratorcrab #crustacean #nightdiving #lajollashores #scubadiving
