I'm not sure what you mean by this question. Hermit Crab is a term used to refer to many different species of crabs that live in shells that have been cast off by snails. They can be marine hermit crabs, or land hermit crabs. Within these categories there are many different species. The Genus Coenobita contains 16 different species of terrestrial (land) hermit crabs. The Genus Paguras refers to those species of marine hermit crabs.
