Coenobitidae are a family of hermit crabs with only two genera: Birgus (Leach, 1816), the coconut crab, and Coenobita (Latreille, 1825), a genus of terrestrial hermit crabs centred in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, but also extending to the Atlantic Ocean and the Red Sea.

In some species, as in the British Eupa gurus prideauxi, a sea-anemone is constantly found attached to the shell, profiting by the active locomotion of the crab and probably sharing the crumbs of its food, while it affords its host protection by its stinging powers.
In tropical countries the hermit-crabs of the family Coenobitidae live on land, often at considerable distances from the sea, to which, however, they return for the purpose of hatching out their spawn.
The large robber-crab or cocoa-nut crab of the Indo-Pacific islands (Birgus latro), which belongs to this family, has given up the habit of carrying a portable dwelling, and the upper surface of its abdomen has become covered by shelly plates.

Both top-down (predators) and bottom-up (resource limitation) forces have been found in previous studies to have large impacts on seedling establishment, growth, and survival.
In tropical maritime forests, Hermit crabs, Coenobita compressus (Coenobitidae) and burrowing Harlequin crabs, Gecarcinus quadratus (Gecarcinidae), are very abundant and may be important predators of seeds and seedlings.
In secondary forest of variable canopy height and cover, light may also affect seedling establishment and growth.

Pronounced spermatozoal differences between representatives of some families in the Infraorder Thalassinidea support the separation and reclassification of this group into three superfamilies.
In contrast, within the anomuran superfamily Paguroidea, the families Paguridae, Parapaguridae, Diogenidae and Coenobitidae are shown to be united by a suite of ultrastructural spermatozoal characters.
The anatomically diverse family Diogenidae exhibits a range of sperm morphologies intermediate between the Paguridae and Coenobitidae which may indicate a diphyletic origin for this family.

In this review, morphological, physiological and behavioural adaptations to life on land by anomurans are considered.
The most terrestrial group are the Coenobitidae and these have developed terrestrial adaptations broadly similar to those of the terrestrial brachyurans.
The family Diogenidae is best represented, with 23 species in five genera; the families Coenobitidae and Paguridae each have a single genus with three species in the former, and two species in the latter; the family Porcellanidae has 15 species in seven genera; whereas the families Albuneidae and Hippidae are each represented with one species.
