I'm 6 dives into my week on Bahamas Aggressor II so I've got a bunch of pictures coming. Here's a sneak peek at a cool critter: the neck crab! This one is hanging upside down from a green sponge and is well camouflaged. They hang out into the water and grab stuff as it passes by. Very cool!

Si l'on fréquente les #mangroves des #Caraibes et de l’ #Atlantique américain, on peut éventuellement rencontrer le #crabe rouge des mangrove.
Il a dorénavant sa propre fiche sur le site.

🦀🤖 Researchers in #Australia used an animatronic "spy crab" to watch thousands of spider #crabs gather to molt their shells. To protect their soft new bodies from #stingrays, the crabs stack themselves into massive towers, a social #behavior captured in detail by the robotic camera.
