This shore crab bubble bath is helping us (and the crab) breathe a bit easier.
Shore crabs (Genus: Pachygrapsus) are delightful denizens of the intertidal, often seen scurrying about and darting deeper into cracks as tidepooler shadows pass overhead.
When the tide is out, the crabs can often be seen with a head of foam whipped up with fluttering, feathery maxillipeds—the little face-legs that usually pump water over the crab’s gills.
These bubbles are thought to help the crab increase its breathable surface area until the crab can scuttle back into a watering/breathing hole 🌊🌬🦀

the queer urge to have an aquarium date with someone
[Image description: A pixel illustration of a couple in front of an aquarium made using shades of blue. On the top there is a whale shark in dark blue, a school of fishes, small sharks and a manta ray. On the bottom, in lighter blue, there is some rocks, seaweed, crabs and seahorses. On the foreground there is the silhouette of a rail and a couple leaning against eachother while holding hands. One person has short hair and wears a skirt while the other has long hair and wear pants. End description]
