Decorator crabs at the new SEA LIFE™ Aquarium in Carlsbad arent waiting for St. Patricks Day to start wearing green. This time lapse photography only lasts about one minute but was taken overnight. Aquarists put algae, pieces of seaweed and green sponges in with decorator crabs and they quickly went to work embellishing their shells with the green décor. Decorator crabs recycle their living decorations during the molting process. They remove the anemones, sponges and other decorations from their old shell and use them to decorate their new shell. These decorator crabs are just one of more than 200 species of creatures in SEA LIFE Aquarium which is located next to LEGOLAND California as a separate admission. This weekend the Aquarium is offering a craft activity where kids can share how they care for our oceans. You can find more information at www.SEALIFEus.com.
