  • Tuna crabs are swarming off the coast of San Diego. Sometimes called 'red crabs,' they have quite a few nicknames and typically live in deeper waters near Mexico.
    “We humans breathing air don’t often see them. It’s kind of special when snorkelers and free divers see them right here on our beaches,” said Charlotte Seid, Senior Museum Scientist at the Benthic Invertebrate Collection for Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
    When she heard that the tuna crabs had come to town, she threw on her scuba tank and dove the Scripps Canyon off La Jolla Shores to get a glimpse for herself.

    They may be called tuna crabs to remind fishermen that when you see tuna crabs you are likely in the warmer waters inhabited by tuna.

    I live in British Columbia. I went on a fishing charter here off the coast of Vancouver island and we set prawn traps. When we recovered the prawns I saw these very same Tuna Crabs. I didn't know what they were at the time. But now I know. But according to the information I'm seeing these are only found in Southern waters. It's there a different species here in British Columbia?
