🦀🔬 Meet the Boxer Crab (Lybia tessellata) This tiny crustacean carries live sea anemones in its claws — not for decoration, but for defense and hunting. The stinging tentacles act as natural weapons and tools to catch food. 💡 But here’s the remarkable part: If it loses one anemone, it can split the remaining one in two — effectively cloning it — to restore balance. This behavior is a rare example of tool use and asexual propagation through symbiosis in the animal kingdom. 🌊 Nature never ceas
