The decorator crab is one cool dude to have around, not only for decorating your pad but also for those nights on the town when you need to dress to impress.
This little fashionista uses different items from the ocean, like seaweed, kelp, sponges, and even anemones to add a little spicy sting to the outfit.
But these fashion choices aren't just about looking fabulous. Decorator crabs use their outfits to camouflage themselves and stay safe from predators. Some even choose decorations that taste terrible to hungry fish, while those stinging anemones provide a little extra security. Talk about fashion with a purpose.
And how do they keep everything from falling off you ask? They have tiny hooked hairs on their shells and legs that work like Velcro. They use their claws to carefully select and attach each piece, creating their own one-of-a-kind outfits. Who doesn't want natural no fuss hair like that. Yes please!
Now, you know how frustrating it can be to find the perfect outfit, only to outgrow it? Well, decorator crabs have that problem, too. When they molt and grow a new shell, some will actually take decorations off their old shell and reuse them. Way to promote sustainable fashion, DC!
Between the harvest mouse's basket weaving skills, bowerbird's bachelor pad and the decorator crab's underwater wardrobe, our decorating competition has introduced us to some pretty talented designers!
