Snorkelling, South Beach dog beach, Fremantle, Western Australia.



A Blue Swimmer Crab in ready to defend itself.

Same crab burying itself in the sand.

A different crab has found itself quite the prize.

 
An Estuary Catfish (Cnidoglanis macrocephalu). This fish was obviously struggling.  I am not sure whether the damage was physical trauma or some form of disease. There was another snorkeler in the area who was fishing with a spear, I pointed him in the right direction in the hopes that he might be able to put it out of its misery.
