So I found a new crab (oscar) today. He's purple/tan and very fuzzy. Is he a gorilla crab?

Damnnnnnnn... Invert POTM competition beware!

That is one of my favorite pics of yours, I think! (The 2nd one).

He looks like a gorilla crab.
 
Gorilla Crab? I thought they ate corals?

D2, how do you take those shots? YOu got a macro filter on there? How fast is your lens? MM lens? You pushing the iso? Do tell.....
 
Crap. I was afraid of that. He's cool looking though! My other gorilla crabs were brown. It's a shame to remove him. :(

The brittle star has an elephant trunk!
haha, ya... That's why I call him Mr. Snuffleupagus. :D

I don't know that they eat corals... but they are a predator.
I use a macro lens. They were only a few inches from the glass though, so I was able to get really close. ISO was only around 640.
