Case Solved
Thanks to Mike Concannon and Douglas Herdson for their efforts in solving this mystery.

Dear Alan

This an Angular Crab Goneplax rhomboides. They live in sand or mud burrows at depths from 8 to 80 metres, they are not uncommon but are seldom seen.

If it is not too much trouble I should be grateful for more information on where the pouting was caught. Date, position, depth etc are most helpful. If it is any help I have attached a copy of my report sheet. Please do keep in touch and let me know of anything else of interest you come across, I rely entirely on interested people like yourselves to build up our database and finding out what changes are happening.

regards, Doug
