Hermit crabs are considered to be in the arthropods family. Hermit crabs have a hard exoskeleton made of chiton which helps provide protection and give the muscles attachment support. Although a hermit crab will grow, their exoskeleton does not so they must constantly shed said exoskeleton in favor for a new one that it grows into.
