Hermit Crab Names!

We picked the two winning names for our Hermit Crabs and the winners are: Georgea submitted by Eryn from Shapleigh, ME and Corkscrew suggested by Jasmine from Westford, MA. Congratulations!

Yesterday when we went to the tank we noticed a crab molt. We let the molt dry on the dock in the sun all day but it was not only our visitors who seemed to be interested in it. A Seagull grabbed our molt, thinking it was a real crab and ate it!
