Interesting Find on Hilma Hooker

[bmorescuba]

Check out what I found on the Hilma Hooker during a recent Bonaire trip. This was my first trip using my new E-PL1/PT-EP01/14-42II/YS-110a (1). I, like many others, was drawn in by the $400 Adorama deal. Overall, I'm very pleased, especially with the more macro-ish end of things. I just wanted to share this with someone who might care. At first I thought it was a standard Arrow Crab, but as I looked closer I realized it's actually the moulted shell of an Arrow Crab, sitting inside a funky Pink Lumpy Sponge structure. Anyway, very cool!

That is a very cool find especially in the wide open ocean. It had to be pretty new. I've had a few salt tanks & it was always cool when the shrimps & crabs would molt. The exoskeleton wouldn't stay around long though. Usually someone ate it

Nice find, and great photograph (says another EPL-1 owner)!
