For these crabs, finding food is easy.
Their claws are specially adapted to dig through sand for pieces of plants, animals and algae.
But other crab species need some assistance.

Crazy skill: Team spirit
Its crazy skill is its team spirit.
The claws of the Hawaiian pom pom crab are too small to dig for food like its cousins.
Instead, it uses hooks on its claws to pick up and carry tiny animals, called sea anemones.
It teams up with the sea anemones, waving them through the water to catch bits of floating food.
The anemone’s sticky tentacles grab pieces of food like a mop, which the crab quickly devours.
It’s no wonder these crabs have something to cheer about.
