Soldier crabs have a very strange eating routine 🤔 This tiny little crab, native to sandy estuaries and mangroves—is about the size of your thumbnail. They are known to shove sand into their mouth and filter it for bacteria, diatoms, tiny worms and microscopic algae. Once they’re done, the crab will eject the cleaned sand as little balls. When they’re full, and to avoid the rising tide, soldier crabs will dig a burrow and shelter there to hide from their predators—fish and stingrays. Image: @wi
