All of these are from SE Florida, 3-6 Meters depth.

Alright, I know these guys are super hard to ID, but I thought I'd give it a go. First up is a super cool hydroid crab. It has some extremely skinny long legs.

Next, is two shots of a TINY crab that is basically covered in sand.

Lastly, another sandy crab, that is nearly impossible to even tell it is a crab. (Really wishing I would have gotten more angles, but such is life.) I spent about an hour staring at the ten photos trying to figure out what the hell I took ten photos of. Then I finally saw the claw. (I think it is visible in the last photo.)
