Crab orbweaver:
The appearance of pink is probably the result guanine crystals (the reflective plates) which form a lattice. As light travels through it, the thickness, spacing and refractive index of the crystals can slightly alter the colours reflected.
Snail with epizoic mosses:
Snail with epizoic moss growth. An epizoon is a parasitic or commensal growth of one organism on another. This occurs frequently within aquatic environments (eg. Anemone associations with crabs), but is less common on land. I haven't found another such case for terrestrial snails in the literature so far.
