Aruba Wildlife Photography
by Michiel Oversteegen
This photo depicts the eggs carried on the abdomen flap of a female rock crab, a Sally Lightfoot.
She carries her eggs under her body until they hatch.
Then she will look for a calm shallow area and help releasing the larvae from the eggs by using her claws, so the larvae can drop straight into the water.
