| Portrait of a crab switching shells |
| One day, Ahab was walking along when she found a new shell in the tank. She decided to take a look. (That is her in the dark shell at left center, stretching into the white and black shell. Look at her back legs showing!) |

| She twisted and stretched, trying to get a better look at this new shell. |

| Uh Oh! Ahab has spotted me with the camera. She is very photogenic. Isn't that a nice smile? |

| Is she? Is she? Look at that stretch! |
