I'll believe that when I see it, the storm doesn't look that cold to me.Wow, my forecast changed to include terminal snow! And I'm only at 1400 feet ...
hmm, looks like the conch may have something like eyelids that will iris closed...looks like the poor crab gets to watch whatever is eating him, all the way downConch eyes
Crab eyes
I cannot find a reference, but I believe conch eyes are pretty low resolution in terms of imaging. Many crabs have very finely compound eyes that image superbly. So yes the crab can probably see it in better detail.hmm, looks like the conch may have something like eyelids that will iris closed...looks like the poor crab gets to watch whatever is eating him, all the way down

Cuttlefish use an active optical spoofing method to disorient crabs that they are hunting - they make waves or stripes move from mantle to tentacle tips in a way that masks their slow approach to claw-bearing dinner.
On one of my sister's domestic (Atlantic Seaboard) flights someone brought a cooler full of live soft-shells into the cabin.I've caught crabs many times.....on the beach.....on the pier......on the dock.
Salt water crabs ...... you dirty minded bunch of........RIUers..
Never much cared for the taste of shallow water crab, but I love opies and king legs.

"Will the person who left the head flight attendant with a case of crabs please contact the gate staff?"

If I'm not mistaken my Fathers book collection contains that one.When I was 10-12, this was my favorite book, bar none. I had it near-memorized.
My big mistake is I thought "exhalant [siphon]" was a misspelling of "excellent", which meant the inhalant siphon was the one that was lousy. In a way, it did suck.
My first guess on Mr. Eyes was an olive shell, but those are conch eyes. Good catch!
Malt vinegar yesSo, fish and chips..... with salt and vinegar or no?
Right up until they win.It was always fun fighting with blue crabs to get them in a pot.
I think it's his ambition to become a pillar of the community
What could go wrong
When I was ten, if you asked me where I wanted to live, the answer would have been "The Indo-Pacific". That is where almost all the cool shells came from.If I'm not mistaken my Fathers book collection contains that one.
We amassed a beautiful (and substantial) shell collection starting in the Philippines & continued into S. Fla.
