• this video is meant as an introduction to Hermit Crabs.
  • For some species in Alaska and information about them look at Intertidal — Common Sea Life of Southeastern Alaska a field guide by Aaron Baldwin & Paul Norwood
  • In their book they write:Few groups of intertidal animals in Alaska are as diverse and as amusing than are the hermit crabs. The patient tidepool observer will see them forage for food, search for better homes, and squabble over resources.
  • It would be fun to look at their book and try to identify the crabs in this video.
