"I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab ..."

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
A ghost crab comes out of a hole and walks right over to my phone to investigate, chewing on my phone case
