Candy Crab

from $50.00

The Candy Crab (Hoplophrys oatesi) is a very colorful crab that grows from 1.5 to 2 cm. It camouflages itself by mimicking the colors of the soft coral it lives on. It adds further camouflage by attaching polyps to its carapace. Colors vary depending on the color of the coral, and may be white, pink, yellow or red. I captured this photo while diving in Dauin in the Philippines.

Prints are produced locally using the highest quality photographic paper with archival pigment inks with a fade resistant life of up to and exceeding 100 years.

  • Premium Cotton Rag (300gsm): Museum‑quality with a soft matte finish that eliminates reflections. Archival durability ensures your artwork retains its brilliance for generations.

  • Premium Gloss (250gsm): A sleek, high‑shine surface that enhances colour saturation and sharp detail, ideal for vibrant, contemporary presentation.

  • Metallic Pearl (255gsm): Infused with delicate pearl fibers, this paper offers a subtle shimmer that makes images glisten beautifully in the light, adding a unique, luminous dimension.

Prints are printed on demand, please allow 10-15 days for prints to arrive within Australia. A4 and A3 prints will be posted flat in a rigid mailer, A2 prints will be rolled into a mail tube.

Free postage within Australia, international postage will be calculated at the checkout.
