From his reef inspired domicile this evening. He had acquired a branch of Kenya tree coral on his back, and was carrying it around like a prize. I tried to capture both him and his prize, a prize won by inactivity I suppose, without success. In the process I broke a piece of pavona coral ,and knocked the Kenya tree off his shell..
Good times...
I then discovered, to my dismay, that the Philippine Red Leg hermit crab is a very patient creature....not gracing me with his presence often or with great vigor.
He, she, it...is a pain in the ass.
