We have alot of homes for crabs theses days. This crab has found a nice cozy home in this empty moon snail shell. A new friend to our tank is the Rock gunnel, we actually have 2 of these fish. They reside all year round in hiding under rocks and sea weeds. They move like an eel when disturbed hence the name "rock eel" and are also called "butterfish" because they are hard to catch. They like to eat shellfish, shrimp, and worms. Like life in a tide pool your choices are to eat or get eaten. There predators are cod, pollock, and sea birds. Our summer intern Heather and Erin are educating a visitor who spent alot of time with us today!
