Thousands of tiny red tuna crabs wash up on Dana Point beach and Newport Beach and Corona del Mar beach in southern California on Thursday due to warmer ocean currents. Hundreds of thousands of the dead animals have been spotted on several beaches along the southern coastline, from San Diego to Orange County, as warm ocean currents carry them farther north and closer to shore than usual. The plankton-eating crabs are 2.5-7.6cm long and resemble tiny lobsters. Their scientific name is Pleuroncodes planipes
