A green chiton attached to a half crab. We observed this alien looking commensal beast while undertaking an intertidal survey on the reefs off Hawera. It made us jump when we first turned over the rock.

Something...Observer
shellhathDescription
We have large Ekebergia capensis trees in our garden in PE. Every so often, these things, whatever they are, fall off onto our deck. The white and pink ones were found very recently, the brown one a year ago but it was the same size and colour as the white one when I found it. Any ideas?
