 Buried-Crab Good evening from one very tired man! After doing two deep dives to the Superior Producer and taking the dogs to the ocean for two hours I have had it!
Here’s a fun shot from my night dive last night with my macro lens. This is by far the tiniest crab I have ever found! I was laying on the sand just waiting for some friends to finish what they were doing when out of the corner of my eye I saw something move. As I looked closer I still couldn’t see it until I zoomed in with the 105 macro. This little crab was in a beautiful little olive shell but seconds after he noticed my presence he buried his shell in the sand by moving it back and forth and also used his arms to help with the digging. After about 20 seconds the shell was gone he had pushed it under the sand leaving only his body resting on top. As I continued to watch he then just sat there completely motionless, talk about blending in?? As for an approximate size, he and his shell would have fit inside your smallest finger nail!
Just a “heads up” to all my faithful readers, in a few short weeks I will stop sending this daily blog out as an e-mail. Settle down, relax, everyone take a deep breath and continue reading. Soon I will have my daily blog on my website right on the front page, so all you have to is go there and read it at your leisure. The address will be www.coralreefphotos.com The easiest thing to do will be to open coralreefphotos, right click somewhere on the page and “create a shortcut” to your desktop or save it as your favorites folder. We are talking about still sending you an e-mail out once a week just as a reminder and a quick run-down of the weeks activities, I think your going to love it.
Many of you always ask if my photos are for sale, everything is available thru www.wildhorizons.com and if your out and about shopping pick up the new issue of Sport Diver, it again has some of my photos in it this month, I’ll let you find them!
I smell something yummy, see you tomorrow, Barry
