Pagurus kennerlyi

Bluespine hermit crab:

Bluespine hermit crab (Pagurus kennerlyi): The bluespine hermit crab is a common low intertidal and subtidal species. Unlike other local species with sharp spines and abundant brown hairs, the spines of this species are light blue or white colored in contrast to the brown background of the claws. The banded antennae and medium to large size are distinguishing features. A key to this species and three other similar species can be found under the entry for the Fuzzy hermit crab (Pagurus capillatus).
