Necora puber (velvet crab). In the North Sea most creatures try to blend in with their environment rather than stand out. I guess investing in bright colours is less rewarding in environments with lower visibility. (f/5, 1/250, ISO-200, 14mm). - Els

Seahorse taken in the Netherlands. A few years ago, a seahorse was rare in my country, but last year there were over 15 different seahorses found. It is amazing that we have these creatures in our murky waters.
