00:00And friends come and go and sometimes boxer crabs will lose their anemones.
00:07In a case where they lose both, scientists have actually recorded boxer crabs sharing
00:12anemones.
00:13So, if you've got one boxer crab with two anemones, it will put one down on the ground
00:17and allow the anemone-less boxer crab to pick one up.
00:21You may think this is a bit of a problem.
00:22What good is a boxer crab just holding one anemone?
00:25Well, the anemones can clone themselves, they can split in two.
00:32Boxer crabs know this and have been recorded splitting anemones in half, as seen here in
00:38this scientific footage, ensuring they always have a matching pair of mitts.
00:43So this tiny little guy, he packs a lot of punch, thanks to his friends.
