Why Hermit Crab Feeds His Pals
London Dec 28 The mystery of the hermit crab and its habit of living with other species has been explained by Dr Orton of the Plymouth Marine Biological Laboratory. He finds the crab benefits by sharing with anemones and certain worms. The anemone gains ground for feeding and protection from fish, while the crab profits from the anemone’s tentacles and shared food scraps. One worm was seen to steal food from the crab.
