What’s Unique About Hermit Crabs?
The Daily Post prompt for the week is Unique. “In a new post specifically created for this challenge, share a picture that says UNIQUE to you.“
I love to watch hermit crabs scurrying out of a coconut shell!
Imagine my surprise when this hiccup of white crawled out of the shell!
“My bad!” I picked up the crab, and it quickly dumped its faux shell!
There seems to be a new fashion in hermit crab beach attire!

This should work as ‘unique, don’t you agree?!

Love this, it made me laugh! Great entry for this challenge 🙂
i am so glad that this made you laugh! thanks so much!
……. sure does……
thanks! z
Awesome… and yes, very unique!
i’m glad you liked it, gail! thanks for your comment!
Certainly unique and entertaining – their eyes make me laugh. Lovely beach attire they have got going on also.
you’re so right about the beach attire! thanks so much! z
You are funny… excellent! 😉
and you are funny as well! thank you, i’m glad you liked this post! z
I’m still amazed by these guys – do you think they read Architectural Digest? Or maybe they’re doing their level best to comply with new recycling regulations? Yes, unique!
yes, the images can be taken many ways.. what we’re doing to our planet in regards to plastics and pollution, and how resourceful the hermits can be! i wouldn’t be surprised if there were a ‘hermit digest’ that the high brow hermits enjoyed in their leisure time!
Brilliant! I’d love to see those 🙂
after spotting the first one (white cap) i began looking for others.. i found one with the black cap, and another with a hunter-green cap! i’ve not spent much time at that beach since, but i’m sure there are a few hermit bohemians that sport what they fancy and not what is proper! z
They are adorable!
thanks! they are certainly unique, aren’t they?

Great painting of the crabs at the beginning of the post! I love their borrowed and recycled shells.
thank you! i’m glad you liked the paintings! that’s where the ‘playamart’ gets its name.. i take driftwood or beach trash and have fun with it. when people ask where it came from, i smile and say, ‘playamart!’

Of all the posts I’ve looked at thus far this week this is definitely my favourite. Well done!
Robin! That is so kind of you to say that! I’m delighted that you enjoyed these hermit crab photos! lisa/z
Definitely unique. All the hermit crabs I’ve ever seen only wore red or green. 😉
ja JA! i am SO enjoying your posts from the southern tip of the country! z
Wonderful shots! At least they are putting trash to some use 🙂
you are so right! they are very resourceful! z

good entry, very creative and like always great photos…(it’s letting me post something 🙂 lol)
my computer’s being very sluggish tonight as well. z
Definitely!
Yes, especially the unique homes the crabs are finding. Interesting that they are recycling our rubbish.
si, it’s quite strange, isn’t it, that they made good use of the plastic caps! z

You’re too funny! Thanks for your vote of confidence! This was an easy challenge, and yes, I am thankful for patience, though sometimes i wonder if it’s a matter of being stubborn and persistent!
My favorite unique photos of the week. Love the new hermit crab fashion. 🙂
thanks! that was right down the coast from your country; they’re probably sporting that fashion in your turf as well!
Absolutely unique. Adorable!!
