Paguroidea hermit crab

We can find various marine biota with their own uniqueness when the sea water on the beach is receding. I found various marine biota such as starfish, sea plants, sea urchins and various sea snails. I was interested in observing directly a type of marine species that people call hermit crabs or sea snails.

This marine species which has a hard shell is similar in shape to snails, snails, but the contents of the shell are different. This species has the scientific name Paguroidea or some call it the Hermit snail. It has various colors and shapes so it has its own charm for us to observe.

I found this species behind sea coral which has beautiful shapes and colors. The dull red color of this hermit crab's shell is more striking than other hermit crabs that have a different color.
