The world outside the Urban world...or is it

ID: Hermit crabs around a sponge

The marine biodiversity is a very unique one, surviving or rather nourishing despite the apathy of the humans. Here is a frame showcasing the unique variety, a small tide pool which housed a blooming sponge, seemed to be surrounded with a hoard of Hermit crabs, not sure if they were feeding on the sponge, but kept on moving just around it. Eventually could spot some bigger ones catching the smaller sized ones, not sure if it was a cannibalizing act though.

Nice scape. I feel the bigger rock near the right frame is a bit distracting, not much you could do about that thought. Did you try any close-up of only the sponge with the crabs? Thanks for sharing.
