Hi!

I'm hoping someone can help me ID something I found in a plume rock.

I work at an LFS and take pictures/video for the store. I was taking a look at a couple of our Plume Rocks and noticed a small crab living in one of the feather duster tubes. My google-fu has failed me. I haven't been able to find any information on them.

Sorry for the picture of a video. I haven't been able to upload/edit it yet.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
 
I have no idea what it could be, but it's definitely a neat looking critter. Hopefully someone will be able to help you ID it
 
Paguritta sp.. Google "porites hermit crab". They have been pretty common lately and are awesome symbionts.
