Those are beautiful pictures of your hermit crab!

I'm certain it didn't follow you home, you took it back together with the sea sand. :D

Beautiful set, ming, especially 1st set.
You had someone hold it while you shot it?

These hermit crabs won't last long away from their natural habitat. And by harvesting them for sale like in that shop, the ecology will be affected, for these little fellas play a part.

Never forget the conservationist slogan:
Take only pictures, leave nothing but footprints.

And marine park etiquette:
Do NOT take ANY shells or marine life specimens, live OR dead. Unless you have a permit for research and proper means/facilities.

But, if this intrepid fella followed you .... it sure has a taste for adventure! :D

A hermit crab!!! You just might wanna check if your neighbour's pet is missing :D :D They're now being sold as pets.

Nice shots, ming! But oh, he looks like he's got a hole on his shell. Remember to bring him back indoor when it rains, otherwise his "roof" could be leaking!!!

Bro Alan, for shots where you can see someone's fingers, those are mine.. Haha.. Except for pic 5.. I don't know where to put it.. Maybe give it to Pet's Wonderland or something.. It looks healthy and loves biting me!
