Surfaced by the blog Presurfer, a video catches the movement of "millions and millions" of hermit crabs migrating en masse across the beach at Nanny Point on Saint John, captured by photographer Steve Simonsen.
The land-based crabs, also known as soldier crabs, live inside salvaged sea shells they carry on their backs. They are known for a large claw that will give you a pinch or stave off a predator, scavenge for food at the water's edge and are the ones sold in pet stores in the U.S. One is kind of cute. Millions? Less so.

You didn't eat these things. They turn to slime. I have a buddy that tried his damdest to cook them up in fact the photographer Steve is a friend of mine from when I owned a restaurant on St. John in the USVI where this was filmed. A woman Steve knows gave him call and said she witnessed this and he came with the camera.

Yes he could have. He said soft shell crabs.. Ive eaten them MANY times.. and I too have gotten them at low tide. You usually bread and fry them. Hermit crabs are not soft shell crabs.
