Mud skippers vs a mud crab

[Eric Gofreed]

Mudskippers are fish that can breathe in and out of the water. They have suckers on their fins that allow them to climb on rocks and branches. They can hop, skip, and swim too. The male has a long erect dorsal fin that attracts a mate. They also scream to intimate rivals and predators. Photographed in Australia.

Cool capture! The crab seems to be heading away is if it has been subjected to that intimidation.
