EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steve Jones captures the mesmerizing sight of an Anemone hermit crab scurrying across the sandy ocean floor in a vibrant green light. Taken in Komodo National Park, Indonesia, this image showcases the incredible biodiversity found in this tropical climate. The intricate details are brought to life as we observe very small anemone growth on the shell just above its eye. This lesser-known creature belongs to the anomura, arthropod, crustacean, and decapoda families. In this close-up shot, we witness nature's symbiotic relationship at play as the hermit crab seeks protection within its conch shell home. Its exoskeleton and distinctive crab legs enable it to crawl swiftly through its habitat while ensuring safety from potential predators. As part of the rich marine life thriving in the Indo Pacific Ocean surrounding Komodo Island, this solitary creature adds to the awe-inspiring beauty of these waters. The horizontal composition allows us to appreciate every detail of its delicate limbs and claw as it runs with remarkable agility along the seabed. Steve Jones' skillful photography transports us into a world where animals roam freely without human interference. This stunning image serves as a reminder of our planet's natural wonders and encourages us to protect these fragile ecosystems for generations to come.
