Dug up 3 Arenicola burrows and sifted sediment through fine mesh, got one of these in two of them.
Red with white outline on claws, slightly iridescent, very shy
Montego Bay, Jamaica. Hilton Rose Hall Resort
Found at the water line during low tide. No shell. Found a moon snail shell and set it in, it stayed in the shell for a few minutes then got right back out and kept crawling around. Set a couple other shell options around it but it didn't seem interested.
This clam was observed approximately an hour past low tide in a rock pool. As a longtime marine enthusiast, I am happy to be joining the iNaturalist community and making my first observation.
Dug from subtotal sand. Collected six of these while looking for burrowing anemones. Not sure what they are. Remind me of Pinnixa
