Everything comes to an end eventually. I've run out of good hermit photos, so I'm pausing the Daily Hermit posts for now. (Just in time for Arachtober.) Here's a GrainyHand, deciding whether it's safe to come out of the shell. He's halfway there; GrainyHands, feeling threatened, retreat deep inside, out of sight. #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit

Say ah! A "tonsil" level view of a Grainy Hand hermit. (Who has no tonsils, but you get the idea.) 3 sets of maxillipeds, clearly visible; behind these are the small chewing and sorting appendages, the maxillae and maxillules, and at the back the strong, crushing jaws, or mandibles. #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit

Weekend campout. Living in a tank means weekly disruptions for cleaning. Moved to a pan of clean water the first time, hermits race about, in a panic. Food treats and shells to hide behind calm them down. From then on, they're ok; they have good memories of the outing. #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit

Textures; knobs and sawteeth and hairs... A Grainy Hand hermit in the sunlight. An old friend; I named him "Big Blue". #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit

For today's Daily Hermit, go look at this: I'm green with envy.

Just another hermit on eelgrass. With a loaded limpet for company. These intertidal hermits use the eelgrass more than the flimsier seaweeds; for safety after a molt, as a food source in summer when the eelgrass is coated with diatoms, and — mostly, it seems — as a viewing platform. #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit

Deceptive; it looks like an eye like ours; it's not. Hermits have compound eyes, with thousands of ommatidia, each with its own lens. Wild guess: does the black spot in the centre work as camouflage, an imitation of the lens of a vertebrate's eye? #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit

Everyday scene. Three Hairy hermits just hanging out, as they do, the day's excitements (food, mostly) done with. One investigates a vacant shell; it's far too big for the other two. They watch life go by. #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit

Going topless. The shell, that is. Crabs break marine snails with their strong pincers, and peel back the shell to dig out the meat inside, thus creating another hermit outfit. This shell is new and clean, not yet colonized by algae; but it leaves the hermit's bottom exposed. #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit

Hi, there! Hermits in a tank like to sit right up against the glass, watching the big world outside. Sometimes I wonder what they think of us and our frantic dashing about. #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit

Looks so comfy! Like a big, cushioned chair. A Hairy hermit, dressed in her best designer outfit, imported from Africa, poses in an anemone's mouth. The anemone won't sting her and may profit if the hermit brought any food along; she's a messy eater. #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit

Another freshly molted hermit, waiting while her skin stretches and hardens, safely hidden high in the sea lettuce. Here in the tank there are few predators; no fish, no gulls, no octopuses. But there's always a crab or two down on the sand. Vicious little beasts, says Hermie, always ready for a snack of soft hermit abdomen! #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit

The everlasting search for new togs. It's not only after a molt that a hermit decides to switch shells. You never know; this one might be more roomy, lighter, more comfortable; better check it out! #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit

Midnight activity; a Holm's hermit on a feeding barnacle. With a pregnant copepod and something unidentfiable; white tentacles with fuzzy tops. Many marine critters are more active at night. #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit
