sealord > 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. File No. 141206 26-871 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

This individual was similarly coloured to Columbus crabs washed up on the south coast of England at the same time. This colour pattern differs to Columbus crabs that had arrived in Guernsey waters in previous years. This individual was photographed on a floating cuttlebone.
