	Crab Biology
		An alternate method is to hold both claws close together and dip them in the water; by shoveling motions, the water is forced to rise by capillary action along the fringe of hairs on the lower surfaces of the claws, and the maxillipeds, direct it to the mouth.
		Coenobita has a highly developed sensory perception for water; it prefers water of low salinity and it is able to discriminate well between different salinities.
		Males of Coenobita Clypeatus are distinguished by the presence of tufts of hair concealing openings on the first segment of the last pair of legs and by the absence of appendages on the abdomen.

	Caribbean hermit crab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Coenobita clypeatus is a member of the phylum Arthropoda and the class Crustacea.
		Coenobita clypeatus along with all species of hermit crabs grow through a process called molting where the exoskeleton of the animal is shed and a new, soft exoskeleton is exposed from beneath.

	Crabzilla.net - Introduction to Land Hermit Crabs
		While most species of hermit crabs are aquatic, and can't live very long outside the water, there are a few land-dwelling species.
		Most notable among the land dwelling hermit crabs is the family Coenobitidae, which encompases both the genus Coenobita, which contains the land hermit crabs most people keep as pets, and the genus Birgus, the giant coconut crab.
		clypeatus, or purple pinchers, are found in southern Florida and all through the Carribean and even as far a south as the northern coast of South America.

	Land Hermit Crab Research: October 2004
		As an adaptation for extracting oxygen from the air rather than from the water, the gills of Coenobita are reduced in number and stiffened, and the inner walls of the gill chamber are vascularized to promote the exchange of gases.
		Coenobita perlatus prefer shells that fit snugly in order to prevent evaporation of moisture and to protect their soft abdomens.
		Coenobita perlatus can be used as a source of food for humans, but are most commonly found as household pets.

		Of the hermits found on Calabash Caye, the terrestrial crab Coenobita clypeatus is the most easily located and of a very manageable size, and so was selected as the species to be used in this study.
		Hermit crabs occupy many different types of gastropod shells, but there does appear to be a latitudinal gradient in the numbers of species of shell that are suitable (Barnes, 2003).
		At our study site, Coenobita clypeatus was found most commonly inhabiting shells from the gastropods Nerita tesselata, Angulifora littorina, Cyphoma macgintyi, Cerithium litteratum and Polinices uberinus and Turbo spp.

		The hermit crab also known locally as soldier crab is scientifically named Coenobita clypeatus.
		Its home is usually a shell commandeered from the West Indian top snail, better known as the whelk, although shells of other mollusks and even small bottles will do in a pinch.
