See the habitat and characteristics of an Anemone Sea Spider, genus Pyncnogonium with Tidepool Tim of Gulf of Maine, Inc. These sea spiders were found under some intertidal rocks in March as they pair up to mate and spawn.

Tidepool Tim says,  “Sea spiders as big as dinner plates have been found here in the Gulf of Maine! These are a much smaller variety. Although they have eight legs, they aren’t arachnids. They’re mostly legs--they even breathe through the surface of their legs, and store their reproductive organs there. What’s amazing about sea spiders is that their heart doesn’t pump their blood. The job is done by their guts.”
