A hungry hoard. Note the variations in color among the crowd.

Note the big claws. Still wondering if pincer size is a form of sexual dimorphism.

That's not an opae' ula they do live in the same environments but they are usually a little bigger and more dominant than the Opae.Rob in Puyallup wrote:Note the big claws. Still wondering if pincer size is a form of sexual dimorphism.

The camera is my cell phone, a Samsung Galaxy S 3. For the real close up pics and video I use a macro lens available online for the cheap.

I've checked. The species you're referring to is built differently, long and narrow compared to our specialty, and with (relatively speaking) long "arms".LeShrimp wrote:That's not an opae' ula they do live in the same environments but they are usually a little bigger and more dominant than the Opae.Rob in Puyallup wrote:Note the big claws.
