Tiny Crabs in the Tidepool

I posted about a beach on Vancouver Island that we had scoped out as a possible spot for later.  While looking around, I spent a bit of time checking out some of the tide pools on the shore.  As is often the case, they initially look quiet but, if you spend a little time waiting, you start to notice movement.  I found a crab scuttling around in one of the pools and grabbed some photos of it.  What I didn’t realize was that there was a second one alongside that had obviously been less mobile while I was watching.  Lots of barnacles in the water too and a ton of snail-like creatures.  Don’t think they were hermit crabs but who knows?
