Hermit crab. Hermit crabs wear shells to protect their soft abdomens, which are asymmetrical and curved to fit the spiral shape of their shell. Like all crabs, hermit crabs are decapods; they have five pairs of legs, including a pair of claws.

The second and third pairs of legs help the crab walk, and the last two pairs hold the hermit crab in its shell, Pagurus
