Besides European Green Crab (Carcinus maenas) at Mill Bay #Salcombe #Devon, plenty of barnacles; maybe Montagu's Stellate (Chthamalus montagui), Beaked (Austrominius modestus, with Dogwhelk) & Perforated barnacle (Perforatus perforates, like volcano)? #crab #crustacean #barnacle #marinelife #sealife
