My fiance and I just got back from a week long vacation in Antigua. While I was there, I was on the constant lookout for Purple Pinchers in the hopes of getting to observe them in their natural habitat. Here are some pics of the tiny crabs I saw and the habitat where I found them:

I also saw some big old crabs on another island, but I had to take a boat and then swim to that island, so unfortunately I didn't have a camera. The old crabs were all in Magpie shells which were battered and broken. I felt really bad for them because there was no availability of good shells. I really wish I had brought some nice turbos to give them.
