Many animals share common relations such as the sea Anemone and the hermit crab. The two little animals help each other in order to survive. The crab bothers the Anemone and then the Anemone sticks onto the crab. The crab then gets protection from other critters in the ocean. The Anemone also benefits too, because it gets leftover food from the crab. This example of a relationship is one of the more common ones. This is an example of a mutual relationship. Many animals must have some sort of…

After we took the picture, we walk along the beaches sand line and looked for crabs with our flashlights. After a 10 minutes of bending my backing walking around looking like a crazy person, I was going to give up. But all of sudden my cousins shouted,” I found a CRAB,” and nearly broke my eardrum. We all ran up to him see what was in his hand. The tiniest crab Ive ever seen was in his hand, you could barely call it a crab. He was so proud of himself, I couldn't make fun of him, ok, so I did…

In the article “Animal Roles and Relationships” par.#2 it states, “the anemones protect the crabs from octopuses and other predators.

One bright morning I woke up and decided to go down to the beach. It was 10:30 a.m. and there was a green flap waving in the air. I knew right then and there that it would be a good day to surf. The waves were going to be just right with the wind blowing and everything. I put my swimsuit on really quick. I rushed down to the beach before it got busy. When I got in the ocean it was a little cold, then I got use to it. As I was wading in the water my family came down also. While we were…

I had only taken a few steps into the water, it was barely past my knees when I got a crab stuck in my foot. I started screaming and crying. I was screaming “ I have a crab in my foot” and every thought I was screaming “ I have a cramp in my foot”. They were all standing there at the edge of the water watching me, laughing at me and telling me to walk it off. I knew better than to walk on that foot that the crab would on get pushed up farther in my toe. So I struggled trying to jump my way out…

These species require nitrogen for nutritional cycle. Chitin has been sourced from different originate and its composition shown in table 2.1 (synowie). Small quantity of…
