Ulua Pom-Pom Crab Day

4 different species of Nudibranch today. But most importantly I set out to find the elusive endemic Hawaiian Pom-Pom Crab in a spot where I used to see them 20 years ago… and I found one. 🙂

Also called the Boxer Crab, this little crab (max 13 mm or ½”) will punch at you with the little anemones it holds like pom-poms, unafraid of you despite its extremely diminutive size.
