Great series!

Congratulations...the crustacean looks happy too...it has a lovely home.
Congratulations Eulalia! This is a top spotting and a very interesting species and family of crabs: they are "left-handed". I know you've queried elsewhere the problem you're having with uploading the YouTube video. This problem appeared a little while ago and hasn't been fixed but the team is aware of it. No doubt it will be addressed when the site is revamped. In the mean time adding a link in notes as you did is the way to go :-)
Oh, I'm so excited. Now I was remembering the wonderful time snorkeling summer when I received the award. Thank you very much to all friends PNoah.
Enhorabuena Eulalia, preciosas fotos!
