Ghost Crab @ Changi 24Jan2010

Ghost Crab @ Changi from BeachBum on Vimeo.



This ghost crab was seen foraging in broad daylight which is a bit unusual for this species as they are most commonly encountered at night.

The short clip shows the crab's ability to 'disappear' in a burst of speed, hence it's name.
