Animal of the Day!

Pea Crab (Pinnotheres pisum)

(Photo byWhite Stone Oysters)

Conservation Status- Unlisted

Habitat- Atlantic coast; Pacific coast

Size (Weight/Length)- 13 mm

Diet- Phytoplankton

Cool Facts- The tiny pea crab lives its life in fear of much larger predators looking for a tasty snack. The parasitic crab crawls inside a mollusk, using it for food, protection, and oxygen. Stealing the mollusk’s well earned food and taking oxygen from their gills, the pea crab can spend its entire life in a single mollusk. A single mollusk can even act as a breeding ground for a pair of pea crabs who’re single and ready to mingle. However, these parasites are considered a delicacy and sign of good luck when you find one in an oyster.

Rating- 11/10 (Tbh, not a fan of these.)

Animtober- Crabby (Just the size of a pea.)
