Yes it was the "crunch" sound that got my attention. Got off 5 shots before it was gone

Yikes, that does not look tasty at all. A piece of hard shell with angry claws?
Great shot :)

It's amazing how YCNHs can get into a crab's shell. Usually only take them a couple of bites. Nice shot.

Shooting from the wrong side of the light plus cutting the feet but other than that, looks great!
