Pink Squat Lobster
Day Five of Underwater Photo Challenge
From dives I have done, I have encountered Pink Squat Lobster twice, in Bangka Island (North Sulawesi, Indonesia) and in Ambon Bay (Maluku, Indonesia). My first encounter with this lobster was rather unique, and captured by my camera.
He came out from his hiding place..

And he ran away quickly..

Wow. This is another beautiful and weird undersea creature. You’re lucky to have explored the seas so much Indah. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, Brad 🙂 There is beautiful nature down there, I do miss it dearly ❤
I’ve only been scuba diving a few times but the ocean is fascinating.
awesome encounter! 🙂
It was 😀
Wow, I’d love to see that!
Scuba dive Indonesia!!! Hope you will see them there 🙂
We dove off Borneo where there many strange creatures but not Pink lobster!
Now that’s what I would like to see!
A weird strange animal, isn’t it 😀
Fantastic creature!
They are indeed 🙂

Thank you so much, Andy!
very difficult to photograph…I love them!
They move very fast 😀 I would love to see them again 🙂
The only squat lobsters I’ve seen are boring compared to that guy.
Hahaha, lobster in pink is rare for sure 🙂
