Meet August’s featured aquarium animal: the Puget Sound king crab! 🦀💜

With a warty, boxy shell and colors ranging from red and orange to purple and yellow, these crabs can be easily recognizable. They can grow to about a foot across and play an important role in keeping kelp forest ecosystems balanced by munching on sea urchins and sea stars. You can find these armored beauties in the Puget Sound Wonders habitat at Pacific Seas Aquarium!
