Hermit Crab Invasion

The hermit crabs were out this weekend.

Okay, maybe it’s not an invasion, but I found a bunch of them chowing down on whatever they can scavenge. There are definitely more than usual out, and a good thing too, because these particular ones were pretty colorful once I got into macro range. Normally, they hide when I get my camera close, but whatever they were eating must have been too good to worry about me. Oh, and I got a shot of the spaghetti monster too (that’s what I call them, I have no idea what they are really called). I am guessing it is a worm that is related to the spirograph. When you get real close, it contracts rapidly and hides, much like the aforementioned spirograph. I also got what I consider a couple of decent shots of a scorpion fish. They are deceptively hard to shoot.
