Porcelain Crab

[Abhishek Jamalabad]

This Porcelain Crab (Petrolisthes sp.) was photographed at the rocky seashore near Khar Danda in the city of Mumbai. Porcelain crabs are tiny crabs inhabiting hidden areas of rocky shores and reefs. It takes a bit of searching, but they are not very hard to find. Even on the edges of this concrete jungle, some pretty marine wildlife still exists, hidden away from our eyes.

This looks very nice. The patterns are interesting. A narrow aperture would have come out well. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
