Roughnose Decorator Crab (Leptopisa setirostris)
Date: July 14, 2019
Maeda Point
Maeda-misaki 真栄田岬
maedamisaki.jp
Okinawa Prefecture
Japan
Depth 60feet or 20meters of depth under water
This crab was nestled in the crack between two ofthe stony bases that the Frogspawn Coral has as its base. The Frogspawn Coral will retract to protect itself if it's bothered. When doing the detail work on the polyps I noted this decorator crab. It played merry hell with me, but i was able to get a passable shot!
