If anyone can put a name to this critter I'd sure appreciate it.
The Dungeness crabbing this weekend was a bit slower in the bay. The pier was definitely better for those using crab snares instead of traps or nets.

Acantholithodes hispidus, aka spiny lithode crab.
That certainly looks like a Puget Sound Box Crab, we have them here but they seldom are found in traps. We see them diving in rocky areas and hopefully you found that they are tasty!
Thanks, anonymous, you nailed it! My son's teachers sent a note home about the "hairy crab." It sounds dirty, I guess. Spiny lithode crab will make them happy.
