Fireworks!

A tiny sized Barnacle on a small sized Megalopa Crab (final larvae stage).
Crab is less than 1 cm in size, so the Barnacle is only 1-2 mm.

  Thanks and yes, it took me a while to notice that there was a barnacle on the Crab as its very tiny.
  Crab is less than 1 cm, so the Barnacle was like 1 mm on the 'stem'. Posted 6 years ago

Hi Albert,
Wonderful photo! I am a retired crab taxonomist from Brisbane, Queensland, currently writing a book on "Crabs of the World", and would be very interested in the above photo, and also some of your other wonderful photos, to possibly be published as part of the book. Not sure how to contact you directly. Could you email me at peterjfd@bigpond.net.au to discuss the possibilities? Thanks and best wishes, Peter Davie Posted 4 years ago
