THanks, Luiz. That's the Oly C-8080 fixed lens in supermacro mode.

Beauties! I haven't seen that crab before either, although I know it's in the family Leucosinidae, possibly genus Leucosia. There are an awful lot of these little guys in the tropics. A recent paper of a "small collection" of leucosids taken off Bohol, Philippines, found 28 species in 16 genera.

That is a very cool crab, never seen that one before...

I need to see a frogfish one of these days

Really nice pics!

The crab is very special!

That crab is awesome!
