I just saw some sand mooving, captured that picture and get this little head hidding. Love it!*  *[110 - 2023-02-26 - Jardins Precheur - Saint Pierre - Martinique](110%20-%202023-02-26%20-%20Jardins%20Precheur%20-%20Saint%20Pierre%20-%20Martinique.md) - More visible on this picture. About 5 cm in width.* ## Notes This species have been seen in couple. It seems that one of the two individuals is smaller than the other. ## References - https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=440316 - https://doris.ffessm.fr/Especes/Cryptosoma-bairdii-Crabe-honteux-de-Baird-5422/(rOffset)/17 #to-contribute
