Battle Royale
Hermit Crabs (Paguristes frontalis) having a disagreement under Rapid Bay Jetty, South Australia. These two are most likely competing for the limited number of shells that are avaliable on the sea floor. They were locked in battle for quite a while, unfortunately we couldn’t stick around to see who was victorious!

Thankyou for the comments everyone, especially about the lighting. This was the second or third dive with my first strobe, so I’m still figuring things out a bit.
