Most of the crabs have been dead, some eaten subsequently by seagulls. A few are alive, but very moribund, so are very likely die. I don't know why.

Description

Isopod / sea louse attached to the shell of a Bullia digitalis/ beach snail, possibly Exosphaeroma kraussi, but definitely in the Sphaeromatid Family

Peter Glynn says:

It appears to be a sphaeromatid isopod, but impossible to identify to species without careful examination of specimens.

I did not collect the specimen, and have not seen another since then. It appears to me that the isopod maybe grazing the algae on the shell of the bullia.

Description

Btw, much of the notation on the map is incorrect .... this should be corrected.

  • 'Hangberg' should be Hout Bay Heights
  • 'Hout Bay Harbour' should be Hangberg village
  • Hout Bay Harbout label should be relocated considerably eastwards to the harbour location.
