Occurred on February 6, 2023 / Hervey Bay, Pialba, Queensland

: I have just recently moved to Hervey Bay Queensland with my wife, we were walking on the beach in Pialba which is a suburb of Hervey Bay in the Fraser Coast region of Queensland Australia. I spotted lots of movement on the sand and could not believe it when I came closer and realized it was 1000s of little blue coloured Soldier Crabs. I got my phone out quickly as my wife and I have a TikTok account based mainly around wildlife content. Ended up with some really great footage in the end and a great memory of my first walk on the beach in the new town I am going to live.
