In this episode of Saltwater Stories, we explore the hidden world of hermit crabs and the high stakes search for the perfect home. These small, resourceful creatures rely on empty shells for protection, growth, and survival, turning discarded spirals into living armor. We look closely at their remarkable anatomy, their surprising cooperative swaps, their deep evolutionary history, and the modern challenges that threaten their way of life. We invite you to see the shoreline through their eyes and discover why every shell left on the beach matters to the seekers who depend on them.
