re: Pea crabs in oysters

What is commonly called a pea crab in south LA looks exactly like a blue crab in miniature. It's callinectes similias, so named bc it's so similar to the usual blue crab callinectes sapidus. I spent a pretty crappy semester in the basement of the old Life Sciences building feeding those damn little crabs for a hypoxia avoidance experiment.

Anyway, I've never encountered one of the locally named pea crabs inside an oyster, but I don't have volume experience w oysters.
