Crabs protect corals from voracious starfish

http://news.sciencemag.org/plants-animals/2014/09/crabs-protect-corals-voracious-starfish

The article contains a link to the original paper, which is open-access.

As the authors of the original paper state, it was already well known that
there are crabs that protect corals, but this paper adds some new
information.

I point this article out, to simply let people know that the short popular
article and original paper exist, I'm neither endorsing nor criticizing
them.

Cheers,  Doug
