TimG 62 Posted May 16, 2022 I find Yellowline Arrowcrabs just irresistible photo subjects. These were taken in either Bonaire or Sint Maarten usually with a snoot and a 60mm lens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diggy 51 Posted May 17, 2022 Wow love these. The first one looks as if there is an explosion of colours around the arrow crab. Diggy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pooley 24 Posted May 21, 2022 The first 2 are superb Tim, I always struggle with arrow crabs, never seem to get them right - may have to imitate your efforts next time I see them! Mike p.s. up the blues for tomorrow - should be a great atmosphere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike p.s. up the blues for tomorrow - should be a great atmosphere Thanks, Mike! Snoot up, I reckon for Arrowcrabs. On tomorrow (Sunday). Agreed! I’m going to be on an internet-free dive liveaboard off the Turks and Caicos. I’m not sure if it’s coincidence or a sub-conscious desire to avoid the emotional trauma of another 93:20 win. (With apologies to non-soccer fans). CITD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwiftFF5 134 Posted June 10, 2022 I love arrow crabs as well, to the boredom of those who watch my videos, I'm afraid. Great shots, Tim! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimG 62 Posted July 17, 2022 Just had to add these guys. It must be Arrowcrab breeding time in Sint Maarten. They are everywhere! Two of them had read about the James Webb telescope and just had to check out the stars for themselves...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
