Wildlife Spotting

Hi Lars! I commented as it is an interesting case for categorization. I have another hermit crab spotting, and more to upload. And there are probably dozens of hermit crab spottings on Project Noah. To make it even more complicated, I have a case like the coconut crab where the adult is free living and the juvenile "hermiting" in a snail shell.

Hi Lars! The reason I put this spotting in the Arthropod category is that the snail died long ago and the shell is now inhabited by a hermit crab. The crab retracted just as the picture was taken. I am quite happy to put in the "Other" category in the absence of having the ability to choose both categories.

Thanks Nicole!

Thanks Cindy!

I guess so Nicholas... True conches are in the family Strombidae, but there also other types of see snails commonly called conches which are not in this family. I have no idea about this one, especially as the original inhabitant was long gone and replaced by a hermit crab.
