Painted Hermit Crab

Calcinus pictus

Spotting Image 1

Description:

Painted Hermit Crab peeking out from his home in the tide pools near Shark's Cove, Oahu, Hawaii. Most of the other Hermit Crabs in the area were in small, black shells--this one was by far the most interesting and colorful of the day.
