Small legs to
hold body at
shell opening.
This growing hermit crab is feeling
cramped. He has outgrown his borrowed
shell home and is
looking for a new
home. When he
finds an empty
shell, he uses his
claws to check
out the size. If the
size is right, he
cleans the shell carefully and quickly
pulls his abdomen out of the
old shell and sticks it into
the new one!
Standards Link: Life Science:
Students know animals inhabit
different kinds of environments.
ermit crabs are different from true crabs
in one important way. True crabs have a
short abdomen that is folded up under the
large shell on its back. A hermit crab has a
long abdomen that sticks out at the rear end of
its body. Because its abdomen does not have a
hard covering, it must borrow a shell to protect
this part of its body. The
abdomen’s curled shape fits
inside the spiral of a shell.
Draw a line from
each body part to
its description.

The word
hermit describes
someone who lives alone.
Yet, hermit crabs live and
travel in colonies of a few
dozen to more than 100!

Both as a larva and an adult, a hermit
crab grows by molting. A hermit crab
has a hard outer covering called an
exoskeleton. This hard covering
doesn’t grow like human skin.
Instead, it must be shed when a new,
larger exoskeleton is ready. The new
exoskeleton is soft at first, and the
hermit crab must stay in its shell
until it hardens.
Which picture goes with each
sentence telling about how a
hermit crab grows?
1. Mother hermit crab carries
eggs inside shell.
2. Mother hermit crab releases
eggs that are ready to hatch
into the ocean.

3. The hermit crab larva has
large bulging eyes and a
long shrimp-like body.
4. After its third molt, the
hermit crab looks more like
an adult hermit crab and will
move closer to the shore and
find a shell home.

Students know sequential stages of life cycles are different for different animals
If a predator tries to grab a hermit crab, the crab must pull into its shell
quickly. If a predator manages to catch a claw, the crab can break it off,
leaving the predator holding the claw and nothing else. The hermit crab
will grow a new claw to replace the missing one!
