Hermit crabs inhabit almost all oceans of the world and use the discard shells and other objects objects they find to make their home in and protect themselves. This behaviour on the part of the crabs aids other marine creatures in finding homes as well.
In this case not only does the crab a have colourful, vibrant home but the tiny colonial anemones and the acorn barnacles have taken up residents on the shell as well. In most cases this is a mutually beneficial existence for everyone, each animal helping the other with catching food or preventing diseases.
I just have one question, I wonder how much the crab charges for rent?
Thanks for reading.

True happiness lies in sharing.... Hermit crab protect itself by using dicard shell or other object which becomes the colony of other small sea creatures. Hermits don't pay any rent for using other's objects and don't take any rent.
Everything is about sharing and caring each other to live in..

Maybe the rent is as great as the cost incurred @scoottdphoto to perpetuate the crab photo. 😁😁😁. Thank you my friend. Success always for you
