Rare Footage of Hermit Crab Finding New Home


Occurred on April 28, 2019 / Fayette, Missouri, USA

Info from Licensor: "This was a small video I took in my father's marine biology laboratory. My stepmom, father, and an aunt were present. In my dad's tide pool tank, there was a large hermit crab who was frantically searching for a bigger shell. So my dad found a properly sized one of his collection in a drawer and put it next to the crab in the tank. The crab inspected and cleaned the shell for a few minutes before moving right into the new one. Tiny shrimps danced around the crab the whole time, investigating him. I caught this rare occurrence on camera!"
