Before we went to our camp site we stopped off at a 'coastal' beach of Hamilton's Gap the tide was very low so the rockcrop was exposed, and I have seen starfish here before .. But no starfish but lots of crabs who scuttle off as soon as you get anywhere near.. This little guy was sunning himself of the rock a short distance from a 'mini cave'.. He saw me a froze and when he thought I was not watching he would sneak sideways.. just as he got to the edge of the cave out popped his 'Nemesis' claws out and gave him a 'whack' .. so he was safer of the rock being a model for me.. Love his colours.. and those eyes.. BOB
A way better image of the shy one I found hiding in a crevice. Such neat colours and detail - well captured. Your patience was rewarded with this great image.
