The spiny-legged hermit crab is a large land hermit crab with bristles all over its body, making it look very majestic. It is very drought-tolerant and can survive for more than ten days without water. This is because its body structure has special advantages. The lower part of the body in the snail shell has a spongy body that can store water for emergencies.
It is a relatively recognizable species. Its short abdomen causes them to prefer small shells on their backs. Most individuals are covered with bristles. The protruding forehead and brightly colored leg edges are also their representative features.
There are rumors that someone went to Fiji in 2016 and picked up two of them and brought them back. They later sold them for a sky-high price of more than 10,000 yuan.
