Welcome to the award-winning Tybee Island Marine Science Center Podcast! We record our episodes on-location at Tybee Island Marine Science Center at 37 Meddin Drive on Tybee Island.
On today's episode, Environmental Educator Alex Jones is taking us on a fascinating learning journey that focuses on Hermit Crabs and Sea Anemones.
Starting with Hermit Crabs - fun fact - they are not hermits or true crabs! These crabs utilize empty snail shells or other hollow objects for shelter, providing partial containment and protection. Lacking a hard, protective carapace, they become extremely vulnerable to predators without such a shell.
Sea anemones are soft-bodied, predominantly stationary marine creatures that resemble flowers. They inhabit all oceanic tidal zones to depths exceeding 10,000 meters (approximately 33,000 feet). Some species can also be found in brackish waters. They tend to be larger, more abundant, and more vibrant in warmer seas.
