[@lucycapon2714]

Thanks Carrie , it's so weird

[@laurenalexandria5313]

That is kinda adorable..

[@NadiaRosslyn]

carrie why did you do this to me?

[@DizzieWeasley]

This is weirdly cute. Especially when they're putting their pearls on!

[@TheRadicalFanatical]

Because nobody calls them dresser crabs, I have only heard of them buy the name ''decorator crab''. That's the problem with common names anybody can change it, they should really be giving the Latin name for the animal, you think BBC would know better. Naxia tumida that's the Latin name if you want to look it up.

[@adrianaborger]

they basically look like underwater spiders but fancier

[@RizwanKhan-py7se]

my ex used to get ready for the party like that.....

[@kit4250]

She looks like a proper victorian lady. Thanks, Carrie!

[@rachelkirby9305]

Thanks Carrie! :)
