•  Info Velvet crab (Necora puber), Setúbal, Portugal. Note: we have no FPs of this family Polybiidae. c/u/n by me, Poco a poco (talk) 08:01, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose I'm afraid the image just doesn't make me go "wow!" ... The resolution is quite small, and there are a couple of water bubbles (sort of like dust spots, but underwater) obscuring parts of the legs.--Peulle (talk) 08:06, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

  Taking a good picture of swimming crabs isn't really easy, they move quick and are very shy. The crab is also relatively small, and in this case a juvenile exemplar. I estimate that the carapace is approx. 8 cm width. Poco a poco (talk) 09:08, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose I'm afrtaid that you need clearer water for a good image. This is the underwater equivalent of a snowstorm. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:05, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
•  Weak support per explanation of technical challenges. It would be better if we had a larger picture and with clearer water, but nice shot anyway. Cmao20 (talk) 15:45, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too small and full of flakes -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:58, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
•  Weak support Like every submarine environment a crab can be found in will always have crystal clear water ... Daniel Case (talk) 01:28, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Charles --StellarHalo (talk) 04:51, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
