Feels like forever since I posted (no diving lately with the new baby in the house), but I haven't posted a lot of good stuff I took last year, so no real excuses....

Here is a Hepa Box Crab (about 2-3 inches in size) eating another crustacean. You can see the remains of a shell in his claws.

Lets see, 60mm Lens, 1/90, F22, ASA100, Dual Inon220 + -2/-2.

Image taken near the Japanese WWII Barge on the Lighthouse Reef dive site at night.

If you took your time and looked, there was a whole group of these Box Crabs hidden on the wreck, occasionally scrambling into new ambush and hunting positions.

Here is another one:
