Do crayfish have a nervous system?
Unlike humans who have a big brain and lots of nerves to send signals down the body, the hermit crab and other crustaceans have a much more primitive system. They have a primitive ventral nerve cord and ganglia system similar to an earthworm. Hermit Crabs have good vision thanks to their compound eyes on stalks (although can't look below them) and sensory organs are found on the body. Like true crabs, hermit crabs have bristles and hairs all over their body - but mostly on their walking legs - which act as touch receptors. The long antennae of hermit crabs - longer than other crabs - have smell sensors, used to find their food. Smell detectors are also found on the legs. When a hermit crab walks over food, its legs smell it, and the chelipeds quickly grasp it and move it into the mouth.
