Dear all,

The most amazing thing I ever saw on a dive was a fully grown shell of Syrinx aruanus (about 50cm long!) with a hermie in it! Now this was some hermit crab. Not only that, but it had hauled itself plus shell halfway up a 15m high bommie! Imagine shining your torch on this creature during a night dive!
