But would you have taken the photo if it hadn't been next to a crab? :)

Is the crab sitting in a kinda crab-sized hole? Or does it just look like it?

+1 for nudis, jellyfish, and denizens of the deep

Cetaceans, or are they a saturated market too? Pinnipeds?

Worms, maybe (annelids, flatworms, etc)? Possibly better for something other than Valentines

Include seamoths if you do this, just to mess with people :)
