Nice Crab

Ever seen a crab like this? I got caught up on someone's old line fishing on bottom. This little guy was tangled in that line.

It's a calico box crab.
A beautiful species!
Great pic, thanks for sharing.

Cool, hope you were able to untangle him.
This is just on example of why lost fishing line is such a problem for critters.
