"Cone Shell Hermit Crab" |
| The
Cone Shell Hermit Crab (Ciliopagurus strigatus) has a flattened
body with a chalk-white carapace (usually not seen) and a maximum size
of about one inch. While this hermit crab easily fits into a cone shell,
most other hermit crabs cannot.
Photographed in about 30 ft of water off the Kohala Coast near Puako Beach on the Big Island of Hawaii. Photographed with a Nikon N90s in a Sea&Sea NX90 housing with two Ikelite 200 strobes. Nikon 60mm f2.8 macro lens. Fuji Provia 100F transparency film scanned with a Nikon LS-2000. |
