Hermit Crabs - Diogenidae

  


Bristly Hermit Crab | Anemone Hermit Crab

Hermit crabs are abundant around the world. Their soft, unprotected abdomens are curved to fit the spiral shape of snail shells they live in. Hermit crabs carry their shell homes on their backs and retreat inside for protection. They have two sets of legs that they extend outside their shell for walking and two pairs of legs tucked away inside that they use to move their body around inside their shell. Hermit crabs are "right-handed" as their right claws are larger and usually a different shape from their left claws. They use the large right claw for protection and holding food, and the small left claw for eating.
