Decorator Crabs

Yep, they're tricky. They move when you're not looking. I had no idea they could move as quickly as they do! But they are super cool looking.

They have these little claw feet on their front legs and they can cut algae and place it on their backs. They do it to camouflage themselves from predators. So they end up looking like moving pieces of seaweed. Sometimes, they even have tiny anemones growing on their shells. Oh, and they molt! You can find what looks like a dead crab, but it's just the shell. They have squirmed out of it and are off somewhere else with a new, bigger shell that is hardening. No, I haven't named our four crabs yet.
