(Hemigrapsus sp.)
These little guys can be found under rocks on the Washington beaches. We saw these on the Puget Sound shores near Seattle Washington USA .

They range in size from smaller than a marble to about the size of a half-dollar.

My children found it fun to watch these crabs crawl and feed in the tide pools.
