Wherever I lay my shell, that's my home...
Imagine being able to walk out of your house whenever you get fed up of the wallpaper, or want a different view from the window – and simply take over another one that takes your fancy. Business as usual if you happen to be a hermit crab.
Hermit crabs come in two families – Paguridae and Coenobitidae – and are one of nature's travelers. They're not weighed down by mortgages or material possessions. If they wake up one morning and feel like it, they don't have much planning to do before they're on their way. That's probably why hermit crabs are found all over the world with the exception of the Arctic and Antarctic.
Of course, when non shell-dwellers like ourselves travel, accommodation is important and does require planning - whether we are organising a short term trip or a long term move.
If you are relocating and need to find the perfect roof over your head, expatknowhow can help - see ‘creating a home in your new host country' for more information.
In fact, it turns out that even some species of hermit crabs need to plan ahead a bit; the symbiotic relationships they form with sea anemones is a bond so strong that when the crab moves home, it takes the anemone along too!
