Finished painting a set of pendants for a commission about Shackleton's Trans-Antarctic expedition. Endurance, whales, Frank Hurley and penguins. Sea pottery officially captured my brain.

Невероятно притягательный фарфоровый краб.

Incredibly attractive porcelain crab.

АНЕМОНОВЫЙ ФАРФОРОВЫЙ КРАБ (Neopetrolisthes ohshimai, Neopetrolisthes maculatus) или фарфоровый пятнистый краб.

Данный вид краба имеет небольшие размеры около 2. 5 см.Что касается его названия, то на этот счет существует две версии. Первая гласит, что фарфоровыми крабами их назвали потому, что они чрезвычайно хрупкие, а такие части тела, как ноги и клешни, легко отламываются.Вторая указывает на белый цвет тела и конечностей краба, которые напоминают фарфор.

Анемоновый фарфоровый краб относится к организмам – фильтраторам, он поглощает планктон из воды. Эти крабы территориальные хищники. Они обычно встречаются парами среди актиний.Данный вид крабов проявляет агрессивные действия по отношению к другим видам ракообразных, сопоставимых по размерам тела, но не атакует более крупных особей. Анемоновые фарфоровые крабы защищают свою территорию также от рыб, которые появляются среди актиний в поисках пищи. Обычно рыбы – клоуны плавают стаями и, хотя они не очень агрессивные, анемоновые крабы нападают на конкурентов.

Анемоновый фарфоровый краб распространяется по побережью Тихого и Индийского океанов. Краб обитает в симбиозе с актинией, он держится или на каменистом субстрате, или среди щупалец анемона, который захватывает мелкую рыбу, червей, рачков. Хотя этот вид крабов приспособился обитать и без анемона- среди камней и кораллов.

ANEMONE PORCELAIN CRAB (Neopetrolisthes ohshimai, Neopetrolisthes maculatus) or porcelain spotted crab. This type of crab has a small size of about 2.5 cm. As for its name, there are two versions on this matter. The first says that they were named porcelain crabs because they are extremely fragile, and body parts such as legs and claws break off easily. The second indicates the white color of the crab's body and limbs, which resemble porcelain.

The anemone porcelain crab is a filter feeder; it absorbs plankton from the water. These crabs are territorial predators. They are usually found in pairs among sea anemones. This type of crab exhibits aggressive actions towards other species of crustaceans of comparable body size, but does not attack larger individuals. Anemone porcelain crabs also defend their territory from fish that appear among the sea anemones in search of food. Typically, clownfish swim in schools and, although they are not very aggressive, anemone crabs attack competitors.

The anemone porcelain crab is distributed along the coast of the Pacific and Indian oceans. The crab lives in symbiosis with sea anemone; it rests either on a rocky substrate or among the tentacles of an anemone, which captures small fish, worms, and crustaceans. Although this type of crab has adapted to live without anemone, among stones and corals.

500-Year-Old Shipwrecks With Porcelain and Wood Discovered in South China Sea

Hundreds of years ago, the Ming dynasty relied on maritime trade to import key goods from foreign countries.

Now, the discovery of two Ming-era shipwrecks in the South China Sea is giving experts a better idea at what that trade looked like.

The shipwrecks were discovered about 1 mile below sea level on the northwest slope of the South China Sea, according to a May 22 news release from the State Administration of Cultural Heritage via the Institute of Archaeology at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Here’s what archaeologists have found in the shipwrecks so far.

A TROVE OF PORCELAIN

Experts determined that the first shipwreck dates to the Zhengde period of the Ming dynasty — which lasted from 1506 until 1521.

The wreck was overflowing with porcelain goods, including bowls, cups, plates and jars in various glaze colors, officials said.

More than 100,000 relics, mostly made of porcelain, have been uncovered so far, and experts said they are spread across hundreds of thousands of square feet.

Photos from the discovery show stacks of porcelain pottery. Although most of the pieces are covered with sand and dirt, ornate, colorful patterns are still visible beneath the grime.

STACKS OF LOGS AND POTTERY

The second, older shipwreck dated to the Hongzhi period of the Ming dynasty — which lasted from 1488 until 1505.

At this site, experts found stacks of logs and some pottery, according to officials. The persimmon logs were all a similar size and were neatly stacked.

Further research revealed that the logs could have been intended for shipbuilding, experts said. Chinese literature indicates that most products used to build ships were imported from foreign countries, according to the release.

A UNIQUE DISCOVERY

Archaeologists said their discovery marks the first time ancient ships sailing and returning have been found in the same area, indicating that they were likely on an important trade route.

Experts will continue researching and monitoring the wrecks, and they hope to learn more about ancient maritime trade routes and cultural exchanges, they said.
