A stalk-eyed ghost crab has an olive Ridley turtle tightly in its grip.

According to the photographer,

the crab found the turtle’s carapace too hard and eventually let it go. The ghost crab is named after its ability to move at a superfast speed, which allows it to disappear quickly, usually offering only a ghostly glimpse.
