This halimeda crab’s disguise did not fool researchers in Moorea where it was collected. These crabs cover themselves with the green algae of halimeda for camouflage.
Nice! I'm going to Moorea in May -- loved the site and the great photos of the marine animals -- I've been a marine aquarist since I was a little boy -- can't wait to see the real thing!
Thanks! Hope you have a wonderful trip and see all kinds of amazing wildlife.
If you use Flickr, please add your photos to the Ocean Portal photostream when you get back! Right now we have just one group for people who are doing things in their daily lives to protect the ocean, but we’ll be developing more groups soon.
