I loved this guy. His skins were always pretty cool too. I took him back to the store after he killed two snails. He was suppose to be a blue leg hermit, shows how much petco knowns.
To bad you had to take it back, that was a really nice looking crab. I like the apple snail too. Nice shots.
This is my favorite invert, a Skunk Cleaner Shrimp. He eats from my hand and runs to my arm and climbs on it whenever I have to stick my hand in the tank. He's also quite the ham for the camera.
No, the background wasn't edited. That look is created by camera settings, using a wide aperature to create a very narrow depth of field. In a nut shell, the farther away an object is from the focal plane the more out of focus it will be.
