Last night while in the bottle field at Redondo, we spotted a medium sized Dungeness crab that had a Swimming Anemone sitting on the top of its shell. The crab seemed oblivious (well, as oblivious as a crab can seem) to its passenger that was riding around on top of it as it walked along. Unfortunately none of us had our cameras with us, but I wish I could photoshop a pair of reins and a cowboy hat on the anemone. Has anyone seem an anemone riding a crab before?

Thanks, Jan, for confirming I wasn’t narc’ing at 90 feet and seeing things.

On a smaller scale, here is a crab wearing a barnacle from last Sunday at Keystone.
