Hermit crabs don't have a regular size because they grow, they don't stay the same size.
Hermit crab pinchers, or claws, differ in size due to their asymmetrical nature, which is typical for many crab species. Generally, one claw is larger and more robust, used for defense and handling food, while the smaller claw is more agile, aiding in manipulation and foraging. This specialized adaptation allows hermit crabs to effectively manage their environment and threats while maximizing their feeding efficiency. Additionally, the size variation can also reflect the individual crab's species, age, and habitat.
the biggest a hermit crab can get is the size is the size of an adult man's fist
Yes, a whelk can eat a hermit crab. Whelks are carnivorous marine snails that prey on various invertebrates, including crustaceans like hermit crabs. They use their specialized radula to drill through the hard shell of the hermit crab to access its soft body. However, the likelihood of this occurring depends on the size and species of both the whelk and the hermit crab.
