Taken exactly a year ago… I wish I could be there now and not sitting here amid all this covid19 insanity.
Not exactly sure which species of guard crab this is (even with my ID books), but I like the super aggressive posturing by such a relatively tiny animal.
This species of shrimp has been on my list of ones I was hoping to see some day, but they’ve been quite elusive… so imagine my surprise when we found multiple of them on the same dive… and not just in the same spot, but…
