Giant Hermit Crab Spotted in Ishigaki


Was walking near mangroves in Ishigaki and almost walked on that fellow, what a nice sight! Easily 15-20cm wide!

  1. Hermit crabs are really cute!
    I believe they’re probably designated as a natural monument.

  2. That might be a baby coconut crab. If it is, they outgrow shells eventually and walk around naked after that. They get massive!!

  3. オカヤドカリか、もしかしたら若いヤシガニかも?(ヤシガニは若い頃は殻を背負います)中々珍しいものを見れましたね。どちらも天然記念物な筈です。
