We bolted a camera to a crab's shell. It found 500 shrimp having lunch in a coral crevice. 🦀
GoPro Hero 12 Mini, epoxied to the center of a mud crab's carapace. Fixed mount — every movement in the footage is the crab's movement, every stillness is the crab stopping.

Released in 4m of water. It went exploring.

The shell camera recorded:
01 · Sideways scuttle across sandy floor — the step-jolt rhythm of 8 legs
02 · Entry into coral crevice — walls approaching from the right of frame first
03 · Discovery — 500 rebon shrimp on the crevice floor. Frame goes dead still. 4 seconds.
04 · Both claws rise slowly into the bottom of frame. Then: chaos.

A mantis shrimp sees 16 colors. Its camera found something that glows in a color humans cannot see. 🦐
Sulawesi Sea, Indonesia. We fitted an 8mm waterproof micro-camera to a wild mantis shrimp — the animal with the most complex visual system on Earth — and followed it into an unmapped internal coral cavity.

The cavity contained an arranged grid of basaltic stones at precise 30cm intervals, emitting UV fluorescence only detectable by the mantis shrimp's 16-type photoreceptor system — and our UV-sensitive lens.

No archaeological survey covers this coordinate.
No scientific record documents this structure.

A shrimp found it before any human did.
