Hermit Crab - Pagurus acadianus The subtidal zone was full of hermit crabs during low tide. This one had wide major claws and reddish stripes. I suspect that it is Pagurus acadianus, but am in the process of confirming this ID.<br />

Here are a few videos that I took of these crabs...sorry for the poor videographer skills!<br />
