It depends who the Hermit Crab borrowed its shell from.
Get a new one!
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.
When a hermit crab outgrows its shell, it will move into a larger shell.
