photograph of a hermit crab with big pink claws, an electric blue body and big feathery.. antenna? feelers?peeping out from a hole in what might be a reef on the left half of the photo. The reef is composed of a load of peach coloured regular modules all topped with a green spot. It's actually a bit disturbing but the crab is really colourful.
