Sea Spider (PYCNOGONID SP.)

Spiders will follow you every where, yes even on a dive! How ever sea spiders are not true spiders even though they resemble the same shape. Keep a close eye out because these spiders are small and can be found creeping amongst the rocks and seaweeds.

Commonly seen up to 3cm in diameter.
