, Reptile keeper and breeder, wildlife observation and ecology hobbyist. Hermit crabs are crabs. Crabs are invertebrates. Invertebrates are animals that do not have an internal skeleton. Instead, they have an exoskeleton. And ten legs. Reptiles are vertebrates. They have an internal skeleton, just like we do, and four legs (well, except for a few lizards that have only 2 or none, or snakes which have none).
Despite the common name, hermit crabs are related more closely to lobsters than to crabs. They lack a hard carapace, and adopt the empty shells of gastropod molluscs (such as whelks), carrying them around and swapping them for a larger shell as they grow.n deeper water, the shells of the whelk (Buccinum) are often occupied. Occasionally, if two hermit crabs meet, one will attempt to 'steal' the other's shell by forcibly evicting the current owner. The common hermit crab is an omnivorous scavenger, and can also obtain food by filtering organic particles from the water.
