Wildlife Loves Boracays Garbage

I completely forgot I had these pictures until I saw Jung post this article. Its about a sponge crab that took a plastic bag as its ‘sponge’. This past month, I saw my first sponge crab (huge! carapace almost a foot wide). It was on a night dive with Dustin of Blue Mango. This thing was ignoring us completely and steadily ripping a plant from a rock in 1.5m and would not stop until it had this tiny scrap of ‘growth’ on its back….then scuttling off.
Jen saw this one night in Red Pirates and we all played with it – a hermit crab that had taken a Cheeze-Whiz jar as its ‘shell’.

Find him and send him to Kuwait. I’ll keep him as a pet. Oh yeah did I mention I’m leaving Iraq in the next couple days? I finally got my damn visa for Kuwait.
