Hermit Crabs
By Saroja

Hermit Crabs live in a shell in a shell in the bottom of the ocean. They eat seaweed, tiny sea animals, and dead fish or animals they find. They move sideways. The legs on one side of their body pull them along. Bigger animals try to eat them. Hermit crabs go inside their shells and then the predator can’t get them. Crabs use other animals as camouflage.
