izardIt is very difficult to get close to this crab. It spots me from several meters, quickly runs to its burrow and hides there.
However I managed to make this picture using a macro lens from about 30cm. And this was a great experience. Because of jet lag, I woke up at 6AM, and went outside at 6.20, while Yulia and Jacob were both still sleeping. At 6.25, sun started rising, and all crabs that were lurking around a beach suddenly stopped moving and started staring at sun.
That looked amazing! I just went to this one, and it did not run and hide as usual. It was too busy watching the sunrise... I read somewhere before that crabs do enjoy sunrise, but I never checked as I never woke up early enough in my previous trips to tropical islands.
Hermit crabs watch sunrise too:
