Hermit crab with hydrozoans on its shell. A hermit crab has no shell of its own. Instead, it uses the shell of a marine gastropod. When it grows bigger, it will look for a larger shell. It is a scavenger, feeding on plant and animal debris. Hydrozoa are a type of cnidarian and are related to corals and sea anemones. Photographed in the western Pacific Ocean, in the Sea of Okhotsk. | |
