A close-up, photorealistic image of an Acadian hermit crab with a red dot on its shell, on wet rocks and seaweed in a tide pool.

“A detailed close-up of an Acadian hermit crab on a rocky tide pool. The crab is small, about 2 inches, with a weathered spiral shell that has a distinct red dot painted on the side. The crab’s body is light brown with reddish-orange hues, showing a rough texture on its exoskeleton. One of its legs is missing, with a dark scar where the leg fell off. Its eyes are black and stalked, looking curious and alert. The larger claw is slightly worn. The background shows wet rocks, seaweed, and shallow ocean water, capturing a natural coastal environment.” See more
