Giant Jelly Fish off UK coast

Find the full article here : http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20100615/tuk-swarm-of-toxic-jellyfish-found-off-u-45dbed5.html

Hundreds of giant venomous jellyfish have turned up at the Cornish coast in their search for food.Skip related content

The Lion's Mane jellyfish, or Cyanea capillata, have a sting which can cause muscle paralysis, leading to suffocation and heart attacks.

The swarm of newcomers was first discoverd by diver Andy Pearson, who was surrounded by more than 200 of them while looking for basking sharks at Sennen Cove, Coverack Cove and Kynance Cove in southern Cornwall.

The creatures, which can reach up to 10ft long, are normally found further north in the colder Arctic and northern Atlantic oceans, but the freezing winter has made the southern seas cold enough for them.

Looking for our crab

We are looking to identify the crab we found on the isolated NE Beach.

No luck yet but I found this website about UK crabs:

CRABS OF THE SEASHORE OF THE BRITISH ISLES


There are a few crabs on there but not found the one we are looking for yet.

This is the one I am looking for so if you have any suggestions, let me know ;)



I also found this link to scottish sea fish, which might be interesting....
