Bubbler Crab
These little guys were all over the beach in Borneo. Any movement would send them scurrying into their holes, but if you waited long enough and didn't move you could see them emerge. They slowly comb the beach, never moving more than a few inches from their protective holes. They take sand into their mouths, suck out the nutrients, and spit out the tiny balls you see here... about one ball every 15 seconds. After each tide the cycle continues.
