Comments : This is a juvenile Puget Sound King Crab. Juveniles are much more brightly colored then the adult version. We often find these creatures clinging to shelves along shear walls in Browning Pass. Seven Tree Island, just north of Browning Wall, offers just such a wall on one side of the island.
