While they color this sheet and label the parts, they can learn various facts about hermits to enhance their knowledge about marine hermits. Found only in freshwater, the hermits, also known as crabs, are crustaceans that use empty snail shells or other empty things as a home for partial containment and protection of the bodies from predators.


Marine hermits are ten-footed crustaceans classified into two groups: aquatic and terrestrial. They are known for their soft asymmetrical abdomen.

Hermits have two antennas, two eyes, and ten legs. These sea crustaceans are not 'true crabs' as they lack an exoskeleton. With over 800 species worldwide, people keep hermits as pets.

In many parts, individuals eat them as their food. Hermit crabs are omnivorous animals, feeding on microscopic mussels, chunks of dead animals, and macroalgae.

Did you know? Hermits can reduce their size if they find their shell small or if no larger one is available.
