@brizmako lol I'm not sure, tis guy is not big - maybe 5-7 cm across so probably not a lot of eating there

Great shot, you were lucky he didn't run away. Love the big beady eyes.

Nice capture! It looks like he's got a bit of a clamber to get anywhere!

Awesome!

@bella_ss @alia_801 @annalisemarie - they were rather shy and this guy was trying to find somewhere to hide from me, I was just lucky it took him awhile. Such a funny face on these crabs, but I've found the eyes are really difficult to photograph well
