Crustaceans at close quarters at Blue Reef
Visitors to Blue Reef on Rock-a-Nore will be able to enjoy some close encounters with a gaggle of weird and wonderful crabs and lobsters throughout the Bank Holiday weekend.
And among the star attractions on display will be Bob the sponge crab who was caught by a local fisherman just off the Hastings coast but is more usually found in the Mediterranean.

Blue Reef's Kate Buss said: "This weekend event provides the perfect opportunity to let people find out more about crustaceans in general."
