The male fiddler crab performed courting to a wandering female. But, she was busy for feeding and ignored his courtship. Meanwhile, she found a burrow and tried to enter it. A sand-bubbler crab was the owner of the burrow, but the crab was escaping from the large invader and waiting for her leaving (the left end of the screen).
