My students would love these crab stamps! I also learned that hermit crabs like humans can be right-handed or left-handed and that dominant claw acts like their “front door” when they retreat into their shells and want to seal it shut. 😊
Where I live— in the Caribbean, where these kinds of crabs are very common— we call them “soldiers” or “soldier crabs” because of how carefully they coordinate their behavior, lining up in phalanxes to exchange shells. No one would think to accuse them of being “hermits.”
