Unique Crabs, Lobster, and Shrimp from Bali

Giant Mantis Shrimp

Orangutan Crab

Even though I am partial to nudibranchs as my go-to favorite tiny marine creature to look for in Bali, the crustaceans are not that far behind. They also come in a wild variety of colors and patterns with wild adaptations that allow them to survive on the rich reefs of Indo. From the incredible fast mantis shrimp to the sea star eating blue harlequin shrimp, to the little boxer crab that carries anemones in its claws like tiny pom poms, these animals are a macro photographers delight.
