•  Info Hermit crab (Dardanus calidus), Teno-Rasca marine strip, Tenerife, Spain. This species can grow to a length of 12 centimetres (4.7 in) and it uses large gastropod shells, such as those of Tonna galea and Charonia species for protection. This exemplar in particular used a Triton's trumpet (Charonia tritonis). Dardanus calidus is a scavenger, feeding on decaying matter from the sea bed. It has been collected from depths greater than 100 metres (330 ft), but is more typically found in shallower water, and it's spread from the East Atlantic (Portugal to Senegal) and Mediterranean Sea. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 12:58, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment Unfortunately, the quality of this wild image cannot come close to the tank-based FP. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:47, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

• A matter of taste, I believe, some areas here have more detail, the antennae are complete and the lighting is much better (without strong shadows). I don't have to tell you the challenge of wild photography versus zoos. Poco a poco (talk) 20:59, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

•  Support The light is really beautiful and gives (together with the limited DoF) the crab an impressive, three-dimensional look. --Aristeas (talk) 09:38, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
