Most of the photos posted to this page were taken with a Canon 20D in an Ikelike housing with TTL connection to an Ikelite DS-125 and an Inon 2000 substrobe. I also use a Sony Cybershot P150 in a Sony housing attached to a Sea & Sea YS-25 via fiberoptic cable.

Red Snapping Crab
While looking in on some anemone fish eggs today, I heard a very loud cracking noise. At first I thought it was an anemone fish hitting my camera housing, warning me away from his eggs (the male guards and nurtures the eggs). But upon further investigation, I found this Red Snapping Crab, Alpheus bisincisus, living under the anemone. Notice the asymmetrical claws which are typical of this genus of crab.
