My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 354 Hermit Crab

"The salt flats will definitely be dealt with. Whether it is not drying or changing places, this sandy beach will definitely be cleaned up, but I will keep this sandy beach for myself, sorry." Xiang Yang said.

Everyone else feels very sorry, feeling that they have missed a golden beach and a silver beach.

keep going.

"There is a rocky area over there. There are many potholes and a lot of water. Some puddles even have secret passages leading to the sea. It is not suitable to go forward." Xiang Yang said.

Who would have thought that it would be good if Xiang Yang didn't say that, but when he said it, Li Chao's eyes lit up suddenly, who was about to go back, and he said in surprise: "You mean those puddles in the reef group, there are bottoms Is there a cave below that connects to the sea?"

Xiang Yang nodded, pointing to a circular puddle with a diameter of about six or seven meters, and said, "Under that puddle, there is a natural cave with a length of tens of meters. The cave goes through the reef area. Then it connects to the sea from under the boulder, and there are many such puddles here, but unfortunately, the caves are not big enough, and most people can’t get in after wearing a diving suit, otherwise there can be a diving project here.”

Li Chao's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he wanted to say something, then he looked up at the people around him, hesitated to speak, and said nothing.

"Huh?" Zhang Qicheng suddenly gasped, a little uncertain: "Xiang Yang, look there, why did I seem to see the shell move a little bit ago?"

Xiang Yang looked in that direction, and on the beach in that direction, there was a reef "growing" out of the ground like a bamboo shoot, and at the bottom of the reef, there was a white snail shell the size of a palm.

"You read it wrong." Li Chao said speechlessly: "Things like conch can live out of the water for a period of time, but they will never climb to the shore on their own initiative. That snail is 20 to 30 meters away from the sea. The nearest puddle is four or five meters long, and the tide hasn't ebbed recently, so it can't be a live conch."

As a result, as soon as Li Chao finished speaking, the conch suddenly moved.

Li Chao: "."

"Hermit crab." Xiang Yang smiled.

"It turned out to be this little thing." Zhang Qicheng walked over, picked up the shell, held the shell with his left hand, and shook it a few times against his right hand. Immediately, a shrimp with a crooked tail came out of the shell. It fell into Zhang Qicheng's hand.

"Actually, hermit crabs should be called hermit shrimps," Xiang Yang said.

Anyone who has seen a hermit crab knows that it actually has the appearance of a shrimp. Although its shape has evolved a bit compared with ordinary shrimp, it is still a shrimp, and it still has the characteristics and originality of a shrimp. Although it is called a crab, it is very different from a real crab. It does not have the hard shell of a crab.

Zhang Qicheng smelled the snail shell, and a foul smell came to his nostrils. Zhang Qicheng quickly threw the snail shell away and cursed: "Fuck, this snail just died not long ago, and the hermit crab didn't eat the snail meat clean."

Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Isn't this a normal thing?"

The snail shells where hermit crabs live are generally live conch shells.

Whenever a hermit crab sees a conch passing by, the hermit crab will look left and right, just like humans look at the house they are about to buy, and the hermit crab will also look at their "new home".

If a hermit crab feels that the size of the snail shell is not suitable for its own settlement, then it will generally not hunt the conch.

If the hermit crab feels that the size of the snail shell is just right for itself, it will suddenly attack the conch, eat the meat inside the conch, and then get into the snail shell by itself.

After a period of time, the hermit crab doesn't care whether the snail shell it lives in is damaged or not, as long as it finds a snail shell of suitable size, it will repeat the same trick again.

In fact, the hermit crab is also very helpless. Its evolutionary technology tree is a bit off, its abdomen is soft, and its tail is crooked. It does not have a hard shell like a crab, nor does it have the agile swimming ability like a shrimp. hide in the shell.

It's okay if you encounter natural enemies who can't bite the shell.

If it encounters a natural enemy that can crush the shell, the hermit crab has no ability to defend against the enemy. It can only protect itself by cutting off its feet, hoping that the predators will be full after eating their feet. Stop staring at your subject.

Speaking of broken feet, it is worth mentioning that not only hermit crabs have this ability, but many crabs have this ability.

Many crabs are born with a complete set of amputated legs.

At the end of the crab's foot, there is a premise muscle. This muscle is usually involved in the normal movement of the crab. Once an accident occurs, it is a magic weapon for crabs to save their lives. The premise muscle will suddenly contract and quickly make the entire foot bowl fracture.

Many people who like to eat crabs but don't know how to cook crabs should have encountered such things.

When washing crabs with clean water or a brush, I obviously feel that I didn’t use much force, and I didn’t even touch the legs of the crabs, but the cleaned crabs always have limbs and limbs, which is actually the premise of crabs The muscles are at work.

"In the past, when some unscrupulous chefs brought apprentices, they used to trick them at the end of the month. They deliberately asked the apprentices to wash the crabs, and then deducted the salary of the apprentices under the pretext that the legs of the crabs were washed. Lao Zhang was cheated at that time. Pass." Li Chao said with a smile.

"No one dares now." Xiang Yang said with a smile.

"No one dares to trick me now." Zhang Qicheng said domineeringly.

"Let's not talk about that." Li Chao lowered his head and scanned the beach carefully, "Hermit crabs are a good thing, and they are also a rare thing to keep in a sea tank. If you encounter difficulties, hurry up and catch a few more."

"You like it?" Zhang Qicheng handed the one to Li Chao, "I'll give you this one."

Li Chao didn't answer, and still searched carefully on the beach, "Where is one enough? If I want to raise, I need to raise a group. Hurry up and look for it for me."

No one else moved.

Because although the hermit crab is a magical creature, it is not very ornamental.

The off-white hermit crab is the most vigorous and the most adaptable to the environment, but the off-white hermit crab is also the ugliest and least ornamental hermit crab.

Hermit crabs of other colors are slightly more beautiful than gray and white hermit crabs, but their vitality is far worse.

This feature is doomed that hermit crabs, no matter how miraculous they are, cannot be on the table of ornamental fish.

And the price of hermit crabs is very low.

In the coastal areas, there are small vendors selling hermit crabs at the gates of many primary schools. Depending on the size of the hermit crabs, the price ranges from five yuan to twenty yuan. It is really a very cheap ornamental fish.

Moreover, creatures like hermit crabs cannot be mixed. They are not very capable, but they are not small in territoriality. If hermit crabs are mixed together, they will kill each other crazily.
