Hermit crabs are usually something we just overlook while on diving - but this hermit crab has chosen a shell that is encrusted with tiny anemones. It must be heavy, but I am sure the Anemones are very happy to be taken on tour!
This is NOT a decorator crab (they attach things like anemones directly to their exoskeleton....this is a hermit crab with a anemone encrusted host-shell
