Hermit Crabs just love their shells. But they don’t get attached, because as they grow, the soft-bellied crabs need to swap out their borrowed homes for new shells, allowing a smaller crab to take the used abode. This real estate bargain takes place in coastal waters worldwide.
Scientific Name: Pagurus berhardus
Characteristics: Looking fine in their borrowed shells, these Hermit Crabs are ready to join an ocean-themed party or school unit as giveaways, study tools, or prizes.
Size and Color: A mix of light and dark orange creates the realism of these tiny Hermit Crabs. Imagine putting some legs on a large blueberry to get a sense of the size.
