Ep 12. The Fiddler Crabs

The Octonauts season 2 episode 12, titled "The Fiddler Crabs," follows the underwater adventures of the Octonauts as they explore a coral reef. The episode centers around a group of fiddler crabs who ask the Octonauts for their help.

The Octonauts arrive at the coral reef and are greeted by a group of fiddler crabs who are upset because their homes are being destroyed. The Octonauts quickly discover that a large group of hermit crabs have taken over the fiddler crabs' home, and are using the fiddler crabs' shells as their own.

Determined to help their new crab friends, the Octonauts come up with a plan to trick the hermit crabs into leaving the fiddler crab homes. They create decoy shells made out of coconuts and use them to lure the hermit crabs out of the fiddler crab shells.

As the hermit crabs leave the fiddler crab shells, the Octonauts quickly move in to snatch them up and return them to their rightful owners. The fiddler crabs are overjoyed to have their homes back and thank the Octonauts for their help.

However, the Octonauts soon realize that the problem is not completely solved, as the fiddler crabs' home is still not safe from future invasions by hermit crabs. To solve this problem, the Octonauts create a new home for the fiddler crabs out of shoebox lids, which the fiddler crabs happily accept.

As the Octonauts prepare to leave the coral reef, they are surprised to see that the fiddler crabs have created a special dance in their honor, called the "Octonaut Hop." The Octonauts join in the dance before setting off on their next adventure.

Overall, "The Fiddler Crabs" is a heartwarming episode that teaches the importance of helping those in need and finding creative solutions to difficult problems. It also showcases the Octonauts' dedication to exploring and preserving the underwater world.
