For day three of #crustmas, dolly varden crabs... spitting!
This crab, as well as other box crabs, have a very strong excurrent as they pass water over their gills. I'm not sure why exactly they 'exhale' so much water, but when close to the surface they create magnificent fountains.

Plant people, is this a mycelium network, or some kind of root extension coming from the cut stem of some old roses?
