Opening polyps... and a tiny crab.

A friend of mine often asks me how I find small critters. The answer is "sometimes I don't, and only see them in the photo afterwards." This is one example of that. The photo was from a dusk dive -- I wanted to show the transition of the branching coral from smooth branches to the spectacular opened polyps (they open at night to feed). During the editing, I noticed the little crab just below the bottom right corner of the open polyps.
