It depends who the Hermit Crab borrowed its shell from.
The spider has an exoskeleton covering around its body. :)
When a hermit crab outgrows its shell, it will move into a larger shell.
The relationship between a hermit crab and a shell is that thy are mutualism.
Yes, Hermit crabs can only maneuver when they can lift and fit the shell appropriately.

They livde to gether because the shell is a home for the hermit crab!
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.
