Thought I would share. Beautiful because, well, it's obvious. Disturbing because the crabs, if this is real, had to be forced into these "shells".

Re: Beautiful and disturbing!
I saw a video on youtube where the crab goes into that "shell" by itself. It's kinda strange 
Mint, Choco, Chip and Cookie says hello!
Re: Beautiful and disturbing!
From what the video shows it looks like they take 3D copies of the shells the crabs are in and build cities based on the landscape of the shell. I too saw the video where the crab checked it out and willingly went in. The crabs in the video are so cute, I'm sure they are blueberries.
Re: Beautiful and disturbing!
I think these are pretty, but a little tacky! I love the potential of 3D printers though! Imagine literally the perfect shell for your crab. "You need a 1/2" opening? We can do that!" No more shell stealing from the beach!
