Crazy about Crabs...

From the intertidal rocky-shores to the deep sublittoral reefs of Alderney's waters, crabs are in an amazing abundance. Anecdotally, Alderney hosts a variety of crab species, from small cryptic species such as the Hermit Crab (Pagurus bernhardus), to large, lumbering species, such as the Chancre/Brown Crab (Cancer pagurus).
