Female Sally Lightfoot crab - Isabela Island, Galápagos
------------------------------------------------------------
Female Sally Lightfoot crabs carry their eggs around with them on their stomachs until they hatch into the water. The larvae then swim out to deeper waters, where they consume phytoplankton and undergo a rapid series of moults. Eventually they undergo metamorphosis to become juvenile crabs and swim to shore, where they start to scavenge, becoming bigger and more colourful with each moult. These juveniles tend to travel in large groups until they reach maturity, after which they become largely solitary when not mating.

Very well done crisp and clear view from nice low perspective of this rather odd crab.

Those crabs were really cool, got lots of photos/video of them just hanging on the rock and some fighting with each other when I was there. They were all over the rocks and many didn't move when you went in close - and since the rock is black the colors really pop. Great capture.
