Why would you throw away a crab's molt? They are great pizza toppings. #StupidIdiot
A crab that lives in the shells of other shell fish is called a hermit crab.
No, they are not. Painted shells-- *will chip and eventually look terrible. *can cause the hermit crab to get sick or even die- the paint has chemicals in it, and when it chips, the paint can fall into their food or water, and the crab will eat it- not a good idea! *are much less expensive than regular shells *provide a bad home to the crab Please - just get a natural shell. It is so much better for the crab.
They probably come out of their shells to do it, but no crab has reproduced in captivity.

Chitin in crab and lobster shells can be used to make contact lenses and dis-solvable stitches.
Well no, crab shells can't be tiles. Well you may strategically place your terrible claws upon my posterior and kiss it repeatedly!
