Moorish Crab (Grapsus adscensionis) on Volcanic Rock
Perched on the dark volcanic basalt of Madeira's coast, this Moorish Crab (Grapsus adscensionis) displays its characteristic reddish legs and striated carapace. These agile crustaceans are iconic residents of the Macaronesian splash zones, adept at clinging to vertical rock faces amidst crashing Atlantic waves.
