Pea crabs enter the oysters as larvae and then grow to maturity inside their host. Because they’re protected by the oyster, their shells remain soft and translucent. Pea crabs are classified as parasites, because they feed off of the oyster’s food supply, but they don’t harm the oysters. #oysterutopia #newwetlands #djursarchipelago #peacrab #parasite #optimisticapocalypse #statenskunstfond #grossererlffoghtsfond (her: Kunsthal for maritim æstetik) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDDzV-hhK_y/?igshid=dv6yq2wbfpm2
