Melvin Mosley+FollowCrab & Anemone: Ocean’s Odd Couple!Scientists just found a brand new sea anemone species chilling on the back of a giant hermit crab, and they’re basically BFFs. The anemone helps the crab grow its shell, and in return, it snacks on the crab’s leftovers. This wild team-up is a reminder that even the weirdest ocean creatures need each other to survive—and with all the plastic and pollution out there, we could mess up these friendships before we even know they exist. How worried are you about ocean plastic? #Science #OceanDiscovery #MarineLife00Share
