	Hermit crab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A hermit crab from the Gulf of Thailand
		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.

	Hermit Crab Sponges
		Hermit crab sponges are compact and slightly compressible and have a smooth waxy-like texture.
		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.
		When hermit crabs occupying a sponge switch into a shell, the sponge is left unoccupied and often is found stranded at shoreline or up on shore as the tide recedes.

	MSN Encarta - Hermit Crab
		Hermit crabs, also called robber crabs, are armorless animals, the largest of which are found along the Pacific coast and attain a length of up to 46 cm (18 in).
		The abdomens of the crabs are soft and asymmetrical, flexed and twisted to fit into the whorls of the borrowed shells.
		Hermit crabs are often forced to seek new shells because they have outgrown their old ones; they change their housing whenever chancing upon another shell into which they can fit.

	Vanessa's Land Hermit Crab Care 101
		Hermit crabs use not only to keep their gills moist so that they can breathe, but also to regulate the salts within their shells.
		Often, hermit crabs will prefer a pre-worn shell that has been modified by many hermit crabs over the years and is as snug as an old woolen jumper that while looks a bit daggy, is quite cumfy and practical.
		If you have hermit crabs such as Ecuadorians then perhaps you just need to offer seashells similar to those they found in the wild, or those seashells proven to be a hit, such as Thais hamastoma which is growing in popularity and is also known as the Mexican Rock Shell.

	Land Hermit Crab Care 101
		Hermit crabs, Pagurus bernhardus, sometimes exchange shells after a period of shell rapping, when the initiating or attacking crab brings its shell rapidly and repeatedly into contact with the shell of the noninitiator or defender in a series of bouts.
		Crabs behaved in a manner predicted by the negotiations model of resource exchange, that is, shells were primarily exchanged between crabs when both crabs benefited in shell fit from the exchange.
		Infection of the anterior midgut ceca (AMC) of hermit crabs by plerocercoids of the tetraphyllidean cestode, Calliobothrium verticillatum, is described.

		In false crabs three pairs of legs are used for walking and in hermit crabs two pairs extend from the shell to move it and its inhabitant about.
		As the hermit crab grows, it must find a larger shell and in some dense populations, fighting for shells is a frequent event.
		In the case of hermit crabs this is inside the shell.

	hermit crab -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		The crabs use empty snail shells (e.g., whelk or periwinkle) or other hollow objects as a shelter for partial containment and protection of the body.

		In crabs that swim, the last pair of legs are broad and flattened, serving as paddles.

	Staghorn Hermit Crab
		The Staghorn Hermit Crab, sometimes called the Antler Hermit, or Coralhouse Hermit Crab is an unusual crab that requires specialized care by the more advanced hobbyist, and is well suited for the biotope or DSB (deep sand bed) refugium.
		The crab itself is a hardy companion for the aquarium, but the shell that it resides in requires specialized care.
		Staghorn hermits are best kept in a biotope system with other filter feeding invertebrates, or in a refugium where the hydroids and bryozoans on its shell can be fed properly with types of live or prepared plankton foods.

	Crabs - The forgotten species
		Even more amazing was the way in which the hermit crab picked up each piece of the crushed coral substrate, and cleaned it individually.

	Hermit Tree Crab
		Land hermit tree crabs are usually nocturnal and hide under leaves or bury themselves in the sand during the heat of the day.
		Crabs have an exoskeleton, rather than skin, so they cannot sweat or regulate body temperature.
		A synthetic sea salt mix should also be available for most species of crabs, but all species seem to enjoy and benefit from it.

		By the way I have Iso'd crabs for past aggresion before, but spike is my friendliest crab (to people at least) and I hate to see him live in Isolation all his life.
