You Will Not Believe how important hermit crabs and shrimp are in tide pools. These tiny scavengers act like round-the-clock janitors, eating leftover plants and animals and recycling nutrients back into the system. Shocking fact: without small cleaners like these, tide pools would quickly fill with waste and lose oxygen for other sea life. The smallest critters often do the biggest jobs in keeping the whole pool alive and balanced. #ocean #nature #marinebiology | Jacob Colvin
