Perched among
the polyps of a distended soft coral tree, this little decorator crab has the perfect
camouflage. On the closeup shot, his claws can be seen to have hooks at the tips to
allow him to
hang securely onto the soft coral as it sways in the currents.

This eel was
found in shallow water buried in the sand at a site off Mabul called Crocodile Alley.
He had not been seen before and is the spookiest eel I've ever seen!
