	Hermit crab
		Hermit crabs are crustaceans that salvage snail shells to shelter and protect their soft abdomens.
		Hermit crabs are members of the phylum arthropoda.
		This evolution to remove reliance on seashells for hydration and protection has enabled this hermit crab to grow to larger sizes, for it is no longer restricted by availability of larger seashells.

	Hermit crab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hermit crabs are decapod crustaceans of the superfamily Paguroidea, distinct from the true crabs in the infra-order Brachyura.
		A number of species, most notably king crabs, have abandoned seashells for a free-living life; these species have forms similar to true crabs and are known as carcinized hermit crabs.
		Most hermit crabs will appreciate a salinity of between 1.023 and 1.025, and temperatures between 4 to 14 °C (temperate species) to 24 to 27 °C (tropical species), with a good bed, algae to graze on and a variety of shells to change into.

	Flat-clawed hermit crab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The flat-clawed hermit crab (Pagurus pollicaris) is a hermit crab commonly found along the Atlantic coast of the U.S. It inhabits discarded snail shells, to which hermit crab anemones sometimes attach.
		It occurs on all types of substrate, and is often found on the mud flats at low tide.
		The adult flat-clawed hermit crab is typically 1.25 inches (32 mm) long, one inch (25 mm) wide, oblong, whitish or pale tan gray, with brown eye-stalks.

		Millions of Horseshoe Crabs may be seen swimming onto the beaches with the high tide; the few days of higher tides at the time of the full moon permit the crabs to deposit their eggs farther up the beaches.
		Hermit crabs live inside empty snail shells in shallow water along beaches and in estuaries, small specimens on mudflats and large ones offshore.
		Hermit Crabs are not true crabs, but are an intermediate form having a soft shrimp-like tail that is protected inside the snail shell.

	Hermit Crabs - Chesapeake Bay Program
		HERMIT CRAB The hermit crabs that live in the coastal waters and along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay and the mid-Atlantic coast are crustaceans belonging to the family Paguridae.
		Hermit crabs use a borrowed shell (they're also called "robber crabs") to protect their abdomens, which lack an exoskeleton.
		Hermit crabs have five pairs of appendages, two pairs of antennae and a pair of mandibles or jaws, on either side of their mouth, and two pairs of maxillae or mouthparts.

	Hermit Crab Sponges
		The sponge benefits by being moved from place to place by the hermit crab and such sponges typically are the most common sponges in sand or muddy bottom habitats; the benefits to hermit crabs living in sponges compared to those in shells, are less obvious.
		Hermit crab sponges occur in many different locations throughout the world, and have been reported from the western coast of Scotland, the Irish Sea, southwest England, the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas, the west coast of Africa, South Africa, the Korean Seas, the Chilean coast, the Eastern and Central Atlantic and the Galapagos.
		Hermit crabs in sponges are also easily visible moving in the water when Sandford walks the shoreline during his daily shoreline surveys.

	Ten Criteria
		If you are shell shopping for a purple-clawed hermit crab (Coenobita clypeatus), choose a shell that has a circular aperture, typical of the shells found in his native Caribbean environment and most fitting for his body style.
		The size of a hermit crab's hidden abdomen is typically the thickness and length of two of his walking legs.
		If you place a prospective shell on a tabletop or flat surface with its aperture flush to the surface, it should remain in much the same position as it would be if a hermit crab were occupying it; that is, it should remain with the shell spire facing out to its right (our left).

		In between their regular feedings, they are exposed to varying numbers of eelgrass seeds which are either spread throughout their tubs or piled closely together.
