Hermit crabs in Christmas tree worm holes,
Vu Ya Passage, south of Vanua Leva, Fiji When
he found out that I was set up for 2:1, one of the photographers on the boat
suggested that I try to get a picture of one of these little hermit crabs
with an out-of-focus Christmas tree worm in the background. That's not
what you see here. The reason is that I failed completely. While
I think it's a great idea, the hermit crabs seem to like the worm holes that
are recessed into the boulder coral, not the ones that stick out, and it's really
hard to shoot across the boulder coral and have much crab in the picture.
I'll keep working at it, but I don't think I'll have enough time on target
to have much chance of success.
