At least these are identifiable as crabs. But anything beyond that is a wild guess.

| Decorator crab. I think. Maybe. |
 |
| Crab with pink hat. |
This guy's "hat" is probably a pale sponge. And he's wearing some spiky algae. The apparent eyes, those round spots just under the sponge, are not eyes; the eyes are on stalks close to the rostrum, that pointed structure making a roof over his mouthparts.
And what on earth is this?
 |
| All eyes. |
It is very tiny. I saw only the eyes; the camera picked up other details, the rostrum and some white stuff behind. Part of the eye guy, or something else? I can't tell.
I'm going to make a pest of myself in the aquarium with my questions.

Por lo menos, puedo reconocer que estos son cangrejos. Pero más de eso, tengo puras conjeturas.
Foto #1: un cangrejo decorador. Creo. Tal vez.
#2: Cangrejo con gorro. La sustancia color de rosa pálida creo que es una esponja. Además lleva un poco de alga. Lo que parece ojos, las manchas redondas, no lo son. Los ojos se sostienen sobre pedúnculos, y están justo al lado del rostro, que es ese techito puntiagudo que da sombra a las partes de la boca.
#3: ¿Y esto, qué es? Muy pequeñito. Yo no más vi los ojos y la cámara registró los otros detalles, el rostro y algo blanco atrás, que puede ser parte del ojudo, o otra criatura. No lo puedo distinguir.
Tendré que hacerme una plaga en el acuario, haciendo preguntas.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
