TI'm a Coenobita Clypeatus also know as a purple pincher hermit
crab, I'm native to the Caribbean including the coasts of Florida,
Bermuda and Hawaii too, but I live in "Bean town" also know as
Boston. I live inside, of course - WAY to cold outside for a tropical critter like me during Boston winters!!
I'm a huge fan of changing my shells, preferably natural
shells that have been polished. I change them frequently. I get
new shells every few weeks so I get to change them as much as I
want. You should see me when I get them too, it's like being a shoe
lover and being in your favorite shoe store.. I thoroughly inspect
the shell inside and out and then I try it on for the right fit.
I
crawl around on my cholla wood and my favorite perch is on my
barnacle. I get a variety of fresh fruits and veggies every day
including tiny dried shrimp, krill and blood worms to name a few.
My favorite fruit is apples. I'm a bit on the shy side and tend to
hide in my shell when someone picks me up but I quickly emerge and
enjoy walking and climbing on my humans. I'm happy "hermie" crab!!
