Can we have a shellfish thread? Do these exist?
I just went clamming today, in Northern Washington. Miserably wet, pouring rain, 30mph winds, but we took home over 320 clams in our group. While washing some off in a net sack I came across pic related.
I showed family and friends, and stuffed it in my jacket pocket. Long story short, when I brought it back to camp I discovered two tiny crabs (each less than 1/4in big) and a living barnacle took refuge inside/on it.
Here are my questions:
What species crabs are they?
How big do they get?
Can I keep them alive?
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a picture of the crabs, since they quickly scurried deep into the shell. A brief description: light blue, even lighter underbelly, pearly white claws (?), pinkish around the edges. I'll see if I can get a picture later.
I did, however, snap several pictures of the barnacle and got a few vids, but still need to convert them to .webm (sorry about potato quality, used my phone). I'll dump them when I get the time.
Thank you all in advance, and enjoy this creepy so of a bitch.
