sealord > On 14 December 2006 Guernsey crab fisherman, Chris Marquis, potting for edible crabs, Cancer pagurus, found a buoy covered in goose barnacles, Lepas anatifera, floating in the sea in the Big Russell - a passage between the islands of Herm and Sark in the Bailiwick of Guernsey. In amongst the mass of goose barnacles he saw a Columbus crab, Planes minutus, which he gave to me.  I kept the crab in an aquarium.  On 23 December 2006 on the strand-line of the sea shore of the north-east coast of Guernsey I collected a rubber Kito Sports sandal, size 44, covered in small goose barnacles.  The crab lived on this goose barnacle-covered sandal for a number of days before the barnacles began to die. 

This crab also known as a Sargassum, Gulf weed or turtle crab, lives on flotsam and under the carapace of some turtles in the North Atlantic.  A few of these crabs turn up towards the end of the year in the western English Channel. A number of these crabs washed up on the south coast of England at the same time.
