Image of Florida stone crab
Description:
A stony crab was observed at University Beach, Corpus Christi Bay, Texas. I'm not sure about the species but it is probably the Florida Stone Crab, Menippe mercenaria. It is a common species found in the shallows, especially on either ends of the beach near the rocks.
