Beachgoers were shocked by the sight of tiny red tuna crabs by the millions washed up on the shore of Ocean Beach in San Diego.
Thousands of tuna crabs have washed up on the shore of Ocean Beach, marveling onlookers with their vibrant red color.
“We came here and as soon as we walked to the beach, I was like, ‘Are these crabs?’” said Samantha Omalley, who is visiting from Bend, Ore.
Omalley said she’s visiting her aunt here and she was shocked to see the crabs.
Experts recently told The Los Angeles Times that these tiny red crabs normally spend their time in the water off Baja California and normally hide on sandy ocean bottoms.
They may wash ashore when the water becomes warm, experts say.
