Incredible footage of hermit crab changing shells with anemones!

Published on Jul 13, 2014

In this exciting excerpt from the third season of Jonathan Bird's Blue World, Jonathan films a hermit crab changing shells and then also transferring its anemones from one shell to the other. This is extremely rare footage of a seldom-seen behavior!
