(May 12, 2023) We are raising money for a crowd funded research project investigating the cause of blueberry hermit crabs in Okinawa, Japan using trash found on the beach as “homes” instead of natural shells. These hermit crabs are endemic to the southern islands of Japan, and they act as coastal environmental engineers. They are endangered on several islands, and we want to try and understand why they are resorting to beach trash for shells. Please consider sharing this post and donating to the project. The fundraising will be active for the next 45 days (until June 26).

You can find all project details here: https://experiment.com/projects/blueberry-hermit-crabs-with-beach-trash-homes

We suspect that areas with high rates of tourism lead to beach combers collecting natural shells leaving nothing for the hermit crabs to use. It’s possible that overfishing of turbo snails which would naturally provide shells for the crabs may also be a factor. We will survey many sites across several islands in Okinawa to try and determine a cause of this behavior.

We will be working closely with national geographic photographer Shawn Miller (photo credits above) and several researchers in Japan. Additionally, we will complete extensive beach clean ups in the areas we study. Thank you so much for reading!

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but DONT take conch shells or large snail shells from the ocean!!!!! If you are snorkeling, wading, scuba diving, whatever, LEAVE THE SHELLS! You may think it’s empty. It’s most likely not.

One time I, a marine biologist, found a beautiful conch shell while snorkeling. I had 2 of my professors check that it was empty (2!!!) and guess what? I still woke up the next day to a dead, stinking hermit crab that had tried to claw its way out of my drawstring bag overnight. Hermit crabs are excellent hiders. This animal died needlessly, and what for?? A pretty shell to put on my shelf?

TLDR; DONT take “empty” conch shells from the ocean. They’re not empty.

#ocean #marine life #marine biology #hermit crab #seashell #I did NOT keep the shell btw #I returned both the crab and the shell to the ocean where they belonged #it weighs on my soul to this day

finally figured out a Bdubs design! not sure if i'm happy with it yet but oh well! he is extremely glare coded to me but like in a scary shadow creature way and I love that for him <3

#i make all my favorite characters look scary its one of my love languages #bdoubleo100 #Hermitcraft #anyway methinks glares are kind of like hermit crabs in that they inhabit other things #but instead of shells its plants #and as they grow older they take up more and more space so you can have little baby glares that only take up one little shrub or ancient gl #this has very little to do with the design i just wanted to talk about it

#i am OBSESSED with the way they just stack up on top of each other when they're on land #i saw a few big ones in the water just wandering around with littler ones riding on top of their shells and eating the algae off #shebbz shoutz #shebbz irl #hermit crab #crustacean #thin striped hermit crab #beach #beach life #piratecore #mermaidcore #ocean aesthetic #marine biology

I cannot fathom trusting some starved and dehydrated miserable liars missing any joie de vivre and opposed to pleasures as ancient as bread or napping after a good lazy meal with the strength and health of my body

#cannot STAND fit influencers and a good half of every trainers I've ever met #if you believe you need to deprive yourself of joy and pleasure in order to keep up appearances about a body that will one day rot anyway #you are no authority or role model to me. and you should shut up and live in a scavenged shell like a hermit crab far away from me

Me: Man, I should really watch Cats! The Musical so I can understand all these great Bigtop Burger references.

Me: Watches the first minute of Cats! The Musical and sees all the sexy furry cat people shimmying and cavorting and crawling around and rubbing their bodies against each other in skin-tight stripy leotards

Me: Man, you know what, maybe... maybe next time, actually. Definitely next time.

#bigtop burger #Im not trying to shame Cats the musical or anyone who likes it #but everytime I try to watch it I cringe into my skin like a hermit crab retreating into my shell and I don't know why #I want to watch it to get all the btb lore so bad #but I just CANTTTT #I'm going to try to introduce myself to it gradually #like immersion therapy #wish me luck
