I've had them as pets, both the land dwelling and sea dwelling ones. I agree. ~<3
IMO the Coconut Crab is the best kind. A primarily land dwelling hermit crab that starts it's childhood no different than any other ocean hermit crab, but at a certain age ventures out of the water as it's soft rear grows a hard shell, and grows even bigger. As adults they can pinch coconuts off of palm trees, hence their name, and are able to pinch halfway through human fingers.
totally agree, love these little guys so much! Always argued in favor of them
