Default Hermit Crab

I spent a day looking at Hermits in the Cook Islands whilst on honeymoon. Most that I found were 2cm - 6cm in length... This one was about 1/2cm long. I spotted it whilst I was setting up a shot of a bigger crab. I love the colors on the eyes.
I wish I had taken more shots with the focus at different points (like Brian V. suggests)so that I could have included more of the shell.

Wow - what a colorful little fellow! I agree with Brian - the dof is helpful.
