They also duke it out if two crabs want the same shell. I recall one video where two crabs were goin round the outside when a third one just moves into the shell. Hilarious at scale, but I bet the first two were pissed. Good thing they weren’t pistol shrimp.

An animal named a hermit crab has better social relationships than humans I'm so pissed.

You know I've never quite bought the hermit crab shells = houses analogy. They seem much more analogous to armor.

This makes the plot of Another Crab's Treasure even zanier. (It's about a hermit crab whose shell is repossessed by the local king)
