Crab and Anemone Fighting

[klausi]

A new video of mine, quite stoked about an interesting interaction between two critters I managed to film:

A small crab got caught in the tentacles of an anemone at night in one of the typical muck diving sites of Negros Island in the Philippines. It’s quite interesting to see how cleverly the crustacean removes the tentacles stuck to its body, and finally escapes in a direction where the anemone has no chance of catching it.

Pretty amazing footage.

Worthy of stokage, Klausi. amazing to watch an anemone actively fight back—and to see the crab just keep at it. Plus, really good control of your camera and lighting.

Thank you - this is a "muck" area without any corals nearby, so I can place the camera in the sand. I have attached a small "gorilla" tripod attached to it.
