Build a Fish Home challenge!

Let’s learn some cool facts about my friend
– the Decorator Crab

Superfamily Majoidea

 

The decorator crab is my creative friend. They decorate their shell with bits of algae, seaweed, and other small animals – attached with little hooks.1 They live on rocky shores, but you need to look closely because you might confuse them for a rock.2 This helps them to hide from their predators!

Fish homes are an important part of our habitat and OzFish are always building new ones – even fish hotels. Check out some of the cool projects.
