Original – A male Hong Kong freshwater crab (Nanhaipotamon hongkongense) in a stream on Hong Kong Island. Large male crabs exhibit bright red carapaces with either white or orange claws. The reason for their bright coloration is not fully understood, as they are nocturnal and and body coloration is not known to affect mating success.

Reason: the image quality is satisfactory, resolution high, and it is argueably the most stunning picture on the Nanhaipotamon page. The typical coloration pattern of male crabs is clearly visible and all important body features of the crab can be seen on the image. Moreover, the photo was taken in the crabs's natural habitat.
