Hello,
can somebody identify these crabs from Fuerteventura, Canary Islands?
Similar pictures I found from Grapsus adscensionis and Grapsus grapsus. Below the same stone were two differently looking specimen, as shown in the pictures. Are that differently looking female and male crabs from the same species or do they belong to different species?
Thank you, Marion
