Answer: The shell would have had to have it before the hermit crab moved in or something got stuck to it.
It was crusty
It depends who the Hermit Crab borrowed its shell from.
A shell provides protection and shelter for a hermit crab, which uses it as its home. The hermit crab carries the shell on its back and can move to a larger one as it grows. This symbiotic relationship benefits both the hermit crab and the shell.
Your hermit crab cam go fast depending on the whieght of the shell on the hermit crab. If the shell is light the speed of the crab will increase, if the shell is heavy on the crab the speed will decrease.
the crab will sooner or later die off DO NOT REMOVE THE HERMIT CRAB SHELL if a crab dies out of it dries out and its a slow death so for the sake of the crab DO NOT REMOVE THE CRAB SHELL
When a hermit crab outgrows its shell, it will move into a larger shell.

They livde to gether because the shell is a home for the hermit crab!
Try to get another shell that you have that is simmilar to the original one. Then I would pit the hermit crab in a small tank with the new shell ans see that he gets into it.
It's term 'hermit' is not because it doesn't like other hermit crabs. The hermit crab actually loves being with other hermits. It is called hermit crab because it is only one hermit crab in the shell. It's term 'hermit' is not because it doesn't like other hermit crabs.

The shell that the hermit crab adopts and wears and changes many times throughout his decades long lifetime helps him in several ways. The hermit crab has a very delicate abdomen that is protected by the shell. Without this shell, his abdomen could become punctured very easily and the crab would die. The hermit crab also carries water in his shell to keep the abdomen moist. If it were to dry out, again, the hermit crab would die. The crab balances the salinity of the water within his shell by accessing fresh or salt water as needed. The shell is also his shelter, and protects him from predators. The ideal fitting shell will allow the hermit crab to pull fully inside and to block off the opening with his large pincer.
