EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a Candy crab perched delicately on red orange soft coral in Sulawesi, Indonesia. The intricate details of this arthropod, known as Hoplophrys oatesi, are showcased against the backdrop of Bunaken National Park's underwater paradise. With no people in sight, the focus remains solely on this creature and its natural habitat. The Candy crab belongs to the decorator crabs family and is renowned for its ability to camouflage itself by attaching various objects onto its exoskeleton. In this image, it finds solace amidst the colorful branches of dendronephthya coral polyps, creating an enchanting visual spectacle. Steve Jones skillfully captures every hue and texture present in this scene, highlighting nature's artistry at its finest. The contrasting shades of red and orange create a striking contrast against the deep blue ocean waters surrounding them. This photograph not only showcases the incredible biodiversity found within Indonesian waters but also serves as a reminder of our planet's delicate ecosystems that need protection. It invites viewers to appreciate both the small wonders hidden beneath our seas and their significance within marine biology. With its vivid colors and impeccable composition, Steve Jones' print transports us into an underwater world filled with awe-inspiring creatures like this Candy crab – a true testament to nature's boundless beauty.
