The hermit crab is a relatively small sized decapod (10 feet) crustacean. It is found in oceans worldwide and although it appears quite like a snail, that outer shell is not part of its actual body. It is actually more closely related to the crab family. However, the hermit crab is not truly of the crab genus. They are also closely related to the lobster and arachnid families.
