Hapalogaster mertensii (species)

Hapalogaster mertensii goes by the common name "hairy crab". This is not to be confused with the "furry crab", or Hapalogaster cavicauda, of which it is a close relative. This crab usually lives further north than its cousin.

Also unlike its cousin, this crab has been photographed here in BC by Neil McDaniel.
