The tidal pools and shorelines near Galle, Sri Lanka, were filled with life. My friend Rich found a small Moray eel in one pool, and everywhere were urchins and very shy crabs, who seemed to know that many people and birds liked to eat them. I took lots of pictures, chasing after them. This was the best portrait I got of my crustacean friends. Later, in the Maldives, there were lots of hermit crabs and another type of crab, light green in colour–Ghost crabs–that ran sideways so fast it was hard to believe.
