The fairy crabs Sirindhornae have a special way of locomotion; they swim on their backs. They absorb their food through their filter hairs. When they swim, they create a jet of water that contributes to the dense accumulation of food between their legs. As a result, the food is blown into the sticky substance, excreted in the mouth and ultimately swallowed.
