Actually They are called rock crabs, Because they are Crabs born with rocks on there back
-Actually, there are lots of types of crabs that live on rocky platforms in intertidal beach zones that are NOT born with rocks on their back, but shelter under rocks to avoid wind, heat loss, protection from predators etc. If you happen to be on a beach you can lift a rock that is inhabited by crabs and can watch them scurry away and slip under another rock. Rocks do not fit perfectly to the ground, so there is a lot of space for a thin crab to fit under.
