Very nice, what camera did you use?

Awesome work Chris! do you use a macro lens for those closeups or are you just using the zoom? Really unusual to see such close in detail!

Must be breeding time for those crabs! never seen so many at one time.

I think they're graceful crab. I saw a similar invasion on a dive I had Jan 17 last year.

Maybe they have an annual spawning event or something. PM Greg Jenson and ask him

yep, they're graceful crabs (Cancer gracilis) but it's a mystery as to why they assemble like that. I see a few of them mating this time of year, but not any evidence of that in the video. I've also seen some big batches of them (on one occasion pigging out on worms) but nothing as impressive as this.

Great vid. What's the little critter at 50sec? Some kind of swimming nudie?

Bravo! Loved the warbonnet out in the open too!

[fmerkel]

Wonderful, I liked the slo-mo, especially the GPO inking as it explodes out of the den.
Great lumpie footage. I thought the lumpie season was about over.

Wow! Nice work and thanks for sharing.
