HERMIT CRABS are funny! For some reason HERMIT CRABS seem whimsical to me so they make me laugh when I see their little legs start coming out of the opening of the shell then … whip\u00a0… they’re gone again.\u00a0They tuck their bodies back inside whatever sort of shell they’ve decided to make their home.<\/p>\n

They really\u00a0aren’t “true” crabs since they lack there own external shell which leaves them vulnerable to predators. To protect themselves, they choose an abandoned shell to live in but eventually the HERMIT CARB\u00a0will outgrow that shell and will have to move out to find another shell to make its home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Clark and I were at Gulfside City Park where we saw all sorts of fun live critters at the evening’s low tide but Clark called me over to see something he scooped up in his shelling backhoe. OMG! A whole nest of little mini shells all occupied by HERMIT CRABS! These were the smallest ones I think I’ve ever seen- so cute! There are all sorts of living creatures in this “seaweed” Clark scooped up so I wish I had checked everything out a little more closely… but we wanted to get them back to sea as soon as possible so we giggled a bit then Clark took them back where he found them. Check out the video I took of these darling little creatures…<\/p>\n\n

Cool, huh? We also saw dozens and dozens of empty DISK DOSINIAS …<\/p>\n

Tania and Nicholas were filling up their buckets with\u00a0DOSINIAS to take back to Miami for a school craft project. Fun!<\/p>\n

Oh wait! I just remembered another video I made for my post Zippy Mini Seashells in 2011<\/strong><\/a> with some other cute little mini shells with HERMIT CRABS in them. Remember this one? Funny!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
