What is this sea critter
The beach this morning was littered with these little crab like/ lobster like things... Most were dead or dying and had washed up with the tide. They didn't have the splayed trail of a cray fish but otherwise looked like crayfish.
I'm uploading from my phone so the pictures might not be inline...

Interesting.
My first thought was a Longhorn Decorator Crab but I don't think that's it.
If you want to give the location of the beach maybe someone will know.

My dog knew they were tasty snacks - but couldn't figure out how to eat them... darn shells.

Well good! We desperately need the rain that a strong El Nino brings, so every sign of one is a positive thing.
