Hey, i had also managed to take the same crinoid crab at Lembeh, but not on the crinoid thou. Yellow with hexagon print, isnt it beautiful.... ahh...

As for ur first picture, i had the feeling of a crab being squashed... but nice shot!

 

[eel]

Dunno if its my monitor but the colour on the first one seems a bit muted. Still the way it is looking at the camera is just so expressive. Other than that 'Wow!' is all I can say. :thumbsup:

 

[jbma]

It looks fine on my screen. Wonderful shots.

 

[Annery]

The first crab look so cute....

[starry]

[GENO]

Heh.. yeah... marine life in lembeh is so rich and diverse. There were 2 organisms on the crinoid. a squat lobster, crinoid shrimp amd the crinoid crab. Squat lobster was too skittish to take though.....

Thanks for the compliments

Heh.. couldn't find any resources on the crab..... i couldn't even make out the family or sub-family of it... :embrass:

Well not as vibrant though on 8X12..... and thanks for the tip on the porcelain crab. Won't be as impressive without your advice.

the crab in question, is....














































food for another sea organism!... :bsmilie:

 

[Annery]

Wat exactly is the other 2 creatures??
So funny one...... but look poison to me....

 

[waisj]

Hi annery,

They are essentially crabs, crabs that lives on soft corals to be precise.

Both are not poisonous. They mimick their surroundings and normally feed on plankton
