Ball with Arms - _TNY_7550
This little guy is a small (~20 mm carapace width) Dotilla myctiroides soldier crab which I met on the norhern part of Klong Dao beach in Koh Lanta, Thailand.
These guys have a wonderful way of disappearing where they tilt to one side and rotate down into the wet sand of the beach and disappear in no time at all. A shot of one doing just that can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/25554136194/
