Sally lightfoot crabs

I love these little guys.  So brightly colored,  they store water and pass it through their gills so they can stay out of water for extended periods of time. 

Also, they are supposed to be extremely tasty.  Everyone says that they don't eat them anymore, but they all talk about them longingly.  

"They were so delicious, " our guide said.  "...and everywhere,, really.   But never again will we eat them."
