It’s been a fantastic diving trip to Anilao, the Philippines for myself and Haze over the past few days. The place is a heaven for macro and muck diving, with so many little critters going about the ocean floor minding their own business.
While it’ll take a while for me to process and pick some of the better photos from the trip, here’s a pair of porcelain crabs I shot on the 10th dive (out of 11) of the trip.
These two crustaceans lived on an anemone, sharing home with a family of clown fish. This is just one of the many wonderful underwater scenes that you just gotta see for yourself.
More posts on Anilao coming up soon!

Suanie: not everything is about food! I’m a bit more.. sophisticated than that. 😛
great shot, though i also can’t help but be curious about whether these porcelain crabs taste good. especially the ones filled with roe, heheh 😀
Sean: well the problem is that they’re only about 2-3 cm across, haha.
