Hi folks...
Was wondering if you could lend me your expertise. My husband and I went fishing in the saltwater mangrove canals in Crystal Bay where Crytal River dumps out into the Gulf of Mexico. It was very low tide and we got stuck for a bit. I found this crab scavinging in the few inches of water next to our boat. I scooped him out of the water long enough to take a few snapshots and then put him back, but no one seems to know what kind of crab it is. Any suggestions?
