Lady Crab Eats Sand Lance UWNE©JMacCausland_

Add to Lightbox

A Lady Crab has ambushed a small, elongate fish called a Sand Lance (Ammodytidae) and is eating it, in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Lady Crabs will frequently burry themselves in the sand with only their eye stalks exposed. They wait with the tips of their claws open for a fish to come by to be grabbed and then eaten. As I swam over the sand, the silvery sand lance fly out of the sand from where they laid hidden. Sand lance or Sandlance family of Ammodytes means "sand burrower".
