Arrow crabs are very curious, and will often come looking right into the lens if you give them a minute. This particular crab was perched between two stovepipe sponges, allowing me a unique frontal view as it moved in closer to investigate my presence.

HOW I GOT THE SHOT

I used a Nikon D300s in a Nauticam housing, Nikon 105mm lens and two Inon Z-240 strobes. ISO 200, 1/125 sec, f/29.
