Thank you again Ashley, this is my second spotting nominated :)
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Emilie , well I'm still not sure,
there is not enough record about vampire crab that found in salak mount national park
Leuba ridgway, sure.. I've forgot to add it
Geosesarma dennerle?
Beautiful colour ! Lovely spotting Rendy. Good to see it in the wild given that it seems to be a favourite for an aquarium.
Could you please edit your spotting and give it it's scientific name Geosesarma sp.
