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

Hippocampus hippocampus (short-snouted seahorse). The visibility in the estuary of the river Scheldt ranges from 0 to max. 6 meters. Finding beautiful creatures like this makes it rewarding. (f/8, 1/80, ISO-250, 50mm). - Erik
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.

"SURPRISE !", this Macropodia rostrata looking like Sid the Sloth yelled while jumping from the mud in front of my lens just when I was trying to shoot an elusive submarined alien vehicle in the Scheldt estuary. (f/8, 1/60, ISO-200, UCL-165) - Els

Sepia officinalis camouflaged on a silty sloping bottom in the estuary of the river Scheldt. Never seen big ones here. The one in the picture was 10cm at most. Every year they migrate from the sea up the river to mate and lay their eggs. - Erik
