This May 4, 2016 image made available by NOAA shows a parapagurid hermit crab hosting an anemone which secretes a “shell” for the crab, during a deepwater exploration of the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument area in the Pacific Ocean near Guam and Saipan. Hermit crabs usually use a snail or other shell as protection. (Photo by NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research via AP Photo)
