Function shell crabs, also known as "decorator crabs," are marine crabs that use materials from their environment, such as algae, sponges, or other organisms, to adorn their shells. This behavior serves as a form of camouflage, helping them blend into their surroundings and avoid predators. By decorating their shells, they can also potentially deter predators who may be wary of the unusual textures and appearances. This adaptive strategy highlights the crabs' resourcefulness in survival within their habitats.

Can you put shredded paper in your hermit crabs tank?
No, newspaper is not a good bedding for your hermit crab. Newspaper retains moisture and stays too wet. This will affect the humidity of your crabitat and also prevent heat from being retained.
If you are looking for a cheap substrate for your hermit crab(s) I suggest using sand such as the kids sandbox sand you can get from Home Depot (just make sure that the bag is not wet, as bacteria could pose harmful effects on the creature.) Or, you can use Cyprus shavings (which you can purchase in reptile sections of pet stores). Cyprus shavings promote healthy burying of your hermit crab.
Beddings to AVOID include: wood shavings (except Cyprus)...especially cedar as it is poisonous, cat litter (harmful if it gets into shell), garden dirt or potting soil (often contains fertilizer and pesticides, paper towels/newspaper (retain too much moisture and affect humidity), corn cob bedding (cannot burrow and it is rough on the legs) and finally...ground coconut/walnut shells (drain hermit crabs of moisture and they are sharp)
