EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steve Jones takes us into the vibrant underwater world of Sulawesi, Indonesia. In the crystal-clear waters of Bunaken National Park, a Harlequin swimming crab (Lissocarcinus laevis) gracefully glides in front of a tube-dwelling anemone. The contrasting colors and intricate patterns on both creatures create a mesmerizing spectacle. The Harlequin swimming crab, with its striking red and white stripes, stands out against the backdrop of the ocean floor. Its delicate claws are poised in front as it explores its surroundings with curiosity. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate every detail - from its multi-colored body to its fascinating mouth structure. As we delve deeper into this image, we are reminded of the incredible biodiversity that exists beneath the waves. This particular species belongs to the Portunidae family and is commonly found in Indo-Pacific oceans. It serves as a reminder that nature's beauty extends far beyond what meets our eyes at first glance. Steve Jones' skillful photography captures not only the beauty but also highlights important aspects of marine biology and zoology. Through his lens, he invites us to appreciate these animals in their natural habitat while raising awareness about their conservation needs. This stunning photograph serves as a visual testament to the wonders that await those who explore Southeast Asia's rich aquatic ecosystems.
