Mostly hermits.

A few hermits:

Hairy hermit, Pagurus hirsutiusculus. Blue knees, dotted-line antennae, green stripy eyes.

Grainy hand hermit, Pagurus granosimanus. Blue spots all over the legs and pincers, orange antennae, red eyes.

"Grandpa". The oldest and largest of the hermits in a heavy shell. A grainy-hand.

A group shot. They all get along fine together. Two hairy hermits, one periwinkle, an amphipod, an orange-striped green anemone, a branch of hydrocoral, rose algae (Rhodymenia spp.), and something with black and cream strips and a bit of orange; I can't identify it. Oh, and all those white specks are swimming copepods.

And the sun is shining on snow. Nice!

Unas fotos de cangrejos ermitaños.
  1. Un ermitaño "peludo"; Pagurus hirsutiusculus. Tiene rodillas azules, las antenas verdes con puntos blancos, y los ojos verdes con rayas negras.
  2. Un ermitaño "de manos granosas"; Pagurus granosimanus. Las patas están cubiertas de protuberancias azules, las antenas son anaranjadas y los ojos rojos.
  3. "El abuelo". El ermitaño más viejo, y más grande.
  4. Compañeros, Se llevan muy bien. Dos ermitaños "peludos", un bígaro, un anfípodo, una anémona verde con rayas anaranjadas, una ramita de hidrocoral, una alga "color de rosa" Rhodymenia spp., y algo con lineas negras y color crema, con una mancha anaranjada: este no lo puedo identificar, Y todos esos puntitos blancos son copépodos.
Y salió el sol, haciendo brillar la nieve. ¡Lindo!

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
