Disappearing Act of Moon Crab

Is another spring low tide morning and is time to head to the inter-tidal area again. I saw this Spotted moon crab (Ashtoret lunaris) showing her best Singapore Got Talent's skill right in front of my eyes. Is really a "Now you see it, now you don't". She took less than a second to be completely disappear from my sight!

Only one of the eye can be seen peeping through the sands.
