Delicate Porcelain

Porcelain crabs measuring only a centimeter or two across can often be found in carnation corals (Dendronephthea). At first I thought nothing of this particular indivudal as the coral looked quite dull. But then artifical light came to the rescue, adding back the red light filtered out by the ocean. I waited until the crab settled into the the corner of one of the arms and captured this image.
