Has anyone seen a hermit crab that is within another shell? For a second it almost seems like a snail is sucking the hermit crab up and for whatever reason it's not releasing the hermit crab.

Where do you get your shells for your hermit crabs or snails?

I’ve seen that a few times, normally the snail will give up on the hermit crab shell or the hermit crab will change shells if it gets annoyed enough (make sure to have similar shells in the tank near it). Normally you don’t have to pull the snail off unless it's completely blocking the hermit crab from moving/entering/exiting it's own shell.
