True Crabs (Infraorder Brachyura)Observer
saxifragesDescription
My guess is young crab zoea that still has long spines pointing forward and back. The trap was full of hundreds of these today. And the blue eye with black spots is like the eye of blackclaw crab megalopa we get in the trap. The second photo shows 4 individuals. The back spine is clearly shown on the center one.
