Reticulated Hermit Crab (Iridopangurus reticulatus) hanging onto a Slate Pencil Urchin (Eucidaris tribuloides) – Blue Heron Bridge, Riviera Beach, Fl
My favorite subjects to shoot are often the ones least seen. This tiny little hermit crab was perched on a Slate Pencil Urchin, sporting a cool yellow shell. In the foreground, you can see individual grains of sand and rubble on the bottom, showing just how small this little fella was. You can often find tiny animals cruising between urchin spikes, using the animal as protection.
