Turquoise kneepad hermit - Dardanus guttatus

The size of some species of hermit crabs are often limited to the shells they can find to live in and there are few large empty shells to be found along the Bigej Meck reef. This very large hermit crab with "turquoise kneepads" had found an old and very heavy giant finger shell which easily weighed several pounds.
