Hermit crab. Close-up of a hermit crab (Diogenes pugilator),showing its eyes,antennae,and mouth-parts. Hermit crabs (superfamily Paguroidea) are not true crabs but decapod crustaceans that do not have their own shell. Instead,they have long soft abdomens which they protect from predators by living inside a salvaged empty seashell. They carry the shell on their back when moving around and can retract their whole body into it | |
