Function shell crabs, also known as "decorator crabs," are marine crabs that use materials from their environment, such as algae, sponges, or other organisms, to adorn their shells. This behavior serves as a form of camouflage, helping them blend into their surroundings and avoid predators. By decorating their shells, they can also potentially deter predators who may be wary of the unusual textures and appearances. This adaptive strategy highlights the crabs' resourcefulness in survival within their habitats.
