I deep cleaned their tank last night and now they're sitting in the shell shop together, possibly plotting a mutiny for having their evening disrupted by The Giant Hands.

Voting ended onMar 16

EDIT: I'VE JUST BEEN INFORMED THAT THE CURRENT LEADING NAME (former president barack obama) COULD BE SEEN AS A RACE JOKE DUE TO HIM BEING THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT, AND THE CRAB BEING BLACK. FOR THE SAKE OF NOT DEALING WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO PRETEND IT'S NOT AN OPTION, AND PICK WHICHEVER NAME IS THE RUNNER UP.

whichever name wins will be chosen regardless of the crabs gender. choose unwisely, tumblr

Pontocaris sibogae De Man, 1918

I love this spike club looking shrimp. Pontocaris sibogae is pretty common in bycatch of sweet shrimps or prawns as they share the same habitat preference of sandy seabeds. Belonging to the Crangonidae family, it's characterized by having only one "digit" at the end of the chela, instead of ending as a claw(2 digits.) The one digit being the dactylus is more pronounced and folds inwards, and the pollex(the claw from the propus) is usually greatly reduced.

Also from what I've seen with some other photos this doesn't seem to be the most accurate for live coloration, it's slight cooked...

I got new acrylic markers, so I decided to draw a blue crab :]

click on the photo for better quality! istg i will kill tumblr one day

I also used some of my other acrylic(I think?) fineliners, because there aren't enough shades of blue in the acrylic markers set I got </3 I'm not sad, for the price they were they are good quality and have a good range of colors... just not blue

So the colors are probably not the most accurate. I tried making it extra colorful so that the drawing looks prettier

Also you can see the next page bleeding through wich I'm sorry for, it's not the worst but still bugs me a lil bit
