Swallow!

She has to be quick ...

Or the hermit will get her lunch.

The burrowing anemone will sting any crab that touches her tentacles, and eat a snail or limpet that gets too close. But she tolerates hermit crabs. So they climb all over her, and when she finds food, they reach into her mouth to grab it before she finishes swallowing.

It's not quite fair.

  1. I thought your title meant you'd seen a swallow Hirundinidae!

  2. If I'd got a photo of a Hirundinid, that close up, there'd be five exclamation points.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
