Even more than the Sally Lightfoot crabs, the Semi-Terrestrial
Hermit crab requires patience since they retreat into their shell
at the slightest movement anywhere nearby. This one I found on
the beach at Urvina Bay and set up close to ground level in front
of its apparent path. After a while it emerged from its shell
and luckily kept going in its original direction, right into my
field of view.
