Whoa! Can't wait to see one of these, totally cool. Look how that other crab seemed pretty pissed off.

What a great moment to capture!

It's always hard to believe that anything can eat crabs, shells and all. No wonder Wolfies always have those snaggly teeth :-)

I love the way it just demolishes the crab - almost like you ran over the crab with a truck tire or something. I was wondering how they got them without getting torn up by the claws (especially the red rock meanies). Now I know.

For a sec, it looked like the 2nd crab (1/2-way thru vid) was gonna try to save his buddy. For the record, I want any dive buddy of mine to save me from anything like this too LOL!! (But try harder).

Way cool, thanks for sharing!!

note to self: leave crab suit at home when diving around wolf eels.

Reminds me of a picture Uncle Pug took of Wendy ... the wolfie that used to hang out in the rocks down by the I-beams.

I've got it kicking around in here somewhere ...

Ah ... there it is ...

It was being offered by a diver ... and she almost took a piece of finger with the crab.

Hence her name ...

Was this taken at night time or somewhere deep? Looks like the light source were dive lights. Great photo. Wow.

If you listen close you can hear the crunch. I think he past the crab off to his girlfriend in the den.

Both ... depth was at about 80 feet, but it was a night dive. The shot was being set up for another photographer, and Uncle Pug ... with his little Pentax point-n-shoot ... "poached" her strobe for his shot.

It was just one of those lucky timing things ...
