#crab molt

Some crab shelves. The first is a calappa species holding an urchin and adorned with sea stars.

The second is a jar of baby dungeness crab molts with a shore crab and parrot feathers.

I really love arranging my curio shelves ❤️

Tide Pool

taken at Laguna Beach, California

This tiny pool was maybe 4 or 5 inches deep but full of a variety of species! Its a great example of how diverse tide pools can be. If you look in the upper left there's a crab molt, to the right and bottom there's several California Mussels, just above the mussels on the left is a clam, and there's even a neat limpet in the mix!

When having an exoskeleton is so good, you just want some more.
