3rd Place Compact Behavior

“Family that Stays Together“
The Story:
Arrowhead crabs are really common in St. Lucia, which makes some people ignore them. However, while on a night dive, seeing this reproduction behaviour, showed the arrowhead crab in a different light. From the pouch being open on the female, to the male being there to protect her was so intriguing that I couldn’t help capturing this moment.
