Glitches and bugs with hermit crab shells
If you (hermit crab) jump in air from water with the shell and recharge boost many times, you will climb into air without oxygen losing.

If hermit crab is hiding in a shell and manta ray swam nearby, camera will switch on the manta, but shell will stay on old place and manta's aura will not fill with hermit crab. After some time, camera will switch on the shell again, bit you cannot charge boost, and protection bonus will appear and disappear very fast. Usually, this bug disappears after 30-40 seconds.
