Use of plastic debris as shelter by an unidentified species of hermit crab from the Maldives

An unidentified species of hermit crab from the Maldives was photographed using a plastic box as shelter instead of a natural shell. This could be a result of increased pollution and shell collection disrupting the natural processes in coral reefs.
