Excuse us while we make loud squeeeeeeing noises over the Strawberry Hermit Crab - the cutest crustacean in the sea.
Excuse us while we make loud squeeeeeeing noises over the Strawberry Hermit Crab - the cutest crustacean in the sea. Commonly kept as pets in home aquariums, these bright red crabs are super small and only grow to about 3 inches long. However, don’t let their size fool you, they’re surprisingly strong and like to rearrange all the items in their habitat, like a rock star trashing a hotel room.
They’re also incredibly sassy. They like to show other crabs that they like them by pushing, shoving, kicking and “feeler fights”, where they sniff each other into submission. However, the cutest fact you’ll hear all day is how when one finds a new larger shell, other Strawberry Hermit Crabs will line up and switch shells from biggest to smallest which is just flipping adorable.
