Album Info:

(DSC07707) Spanner crab, Frog crab, Red frog crab, Kona crab (USA), Curacha (Philippines) - (Ranina ranina): Available wild-caught, these marine dwellers are found from close inshore to at least 100m, usually buried in sand from where they attack small bottom-dwelling fish. Their long, almost goblet-shaped, bright orange shells (even when uncooked) and spanner-shaped front claws are quite distinctive. (Taken from http://www.sydneyfishmarket.com.au/Infor mation/SpeciesInfo/tabid/91/xmmid/620/xm id/213/Default.aspx) Note: Spanner Crabs move in a forwards-backwards motion, unlike other crabs who move sideways.

    • Makes me hungry! Nice capture of the color and texture of my favorite ocean creature, next to lobster of course.
