Acro crabs live amongst the branches of stony corals (Acropora sp.) - This one's carapace is about 1cm across. Shot was taken into a friend's fish tank:

David,

Nice level of detail around the mouth parts in the first. It is a pity about the distracting out of focus coral in the foreground obscuring the edge of the claws. The DOF needed to be slighty more so that the near eye would be sharp.

Thanks Andrew.
In hindsight I really should have taken and used a tripod to make sure everything was in focus and DOF was correct. (and used liveview )

Not to mention some bone cutters to get rid of the branches obstructing my view!
