If you’re like me and assumed that the crab crawled into an orifice of the sponge and took up residence, fear not, this is not the case. (Unless you’re into that sort of thing I guess)
The sponge attaches itself to the hermit crab’s normally selected empty seashell and lives there until eventually the shell dissolves and the crab winds up living inside the sponge.
