This amazing crab was a large one being about outstretched palm sized. Spotted in the big lagoon near the stingray patch. It was the star like appearance which one notices first and remarks ... 'that is odd!?'. i.e. to see a star shaped object with pale blue and yellow bits. And then when it moves, it's identity becomes known. This particular one was able to ambulate rather speedily and it reminded me of a R&D robot taking its first few steps only this one was for real and was probably older than humankind!
