The Columbus crab, Planes minutus, was given to me by Guernsey commercial fisherman Chris Marquis on 14 December 2006. He found the crab living on a buoy covered in goose barnacles, which was floating near Herm and Sark in the Bailiwick of Guernsey. This crab was photographed hanging upside down on a cuttlebone. The crab likes to float near the water's surface and becomes distressed if it accidentally falls off its float.
