Hermit Crabs: Part I
Her
mit crabs are pretty cool!
They carry their house everywhere they go! I would think it would be heavy and such work to carry that shell.
Sometimes, you can tell they've been traveling in the sand because you see the path they've taken. They're pretty slow but steady.
At the end of one dive, we arrived at a big sandy area. There were many hermit crabs scattered about in the sand. Great picture taking!
Sometimes, their shells are not so crusty or "dirty"--it's like they just moved in!
Sometimes, you wonder what they've been up to because their shells are quite crusty and "dirty."
Sometimes, they have stuff growing on them.
But in the end, they are quite interesting creatures. If you can get a good picture, it usually includes their eyes, legs, and maybe even part of their body.
