Decorator crab?

I should also say that this crab is about an inch in size.

If it’s a decorator crab, Nothing is safe. They will pick up anything and everything to put on as camouflage. I’ve seen one at the lfs who has palys and Zoas growing on his head

Honestly I love how thrifty they are but I can’t handle things being out of place or moved. It does my head in when Mammoth the big trochus moves things or when the nems decide they want to move.

My son stole my other one. These are sponge decorator crabs. It makes me laugh to see their new outfit.
