2 claws
Land hermit crabs have 2 claws. The larger claw is used for defense and to cover the hole opening of their shell for protection. It is also used to assist with climbing and the one they normally hold on with. It also breaks chunks of food off for easier eating which is then broken again with the smaller claw and passed to the mouth. The smaller claw is mainly used to break food for eating.
