I am going out today to get more "Secret Mud". Amphipod hunting has slowed down as amphipod season is almost over. I can still get them, but not millions like last month. I can get thousands of 1/4" horseshoe crabs, but not much market for them unless I color them green and red and eat them like M&Ms. I would imagine they don't taste to good, but would supply plenty of fiber.
I have also been seeing hermit crabs in "my" tidepool which I am happy about as I have not seen any there in a few years. I don't collect them as we have an agreement and they are friends of mine. I also don't take any of the hoards or fiddler crabs, but I do like hanging out with them and watching them stand near their burrows waving at their neighbors or trying to attract females. A few years ago I did that, I stood at my door, moving my arm up and down, but all I attracted was the mail girl, and she wasn't impressed. I could tell by the can of mace she showed me. :facepalm:
