| 21 Sep 2024: The Forums have been updated to phpBB 3.3.13. I hope this rectifies the unusual activity detected several days ago. |
| 18 Sep 2024: There has been some unusual high volume traffic to the Forums causing it to crash. I don't think the volume is actual real crabbers. As a result, I have temporarily disabled the Forums so that I can investigate this issue further. |

Compound eyes Hermit crabs have eyes that are highly sensitive to the movement of others, such as predators. Hermit crabs seem to think that people have compound eyes too. Consequently, they stay still when their owner approaches, thinking that their owner cannot see them. |
Straight antennae pair These antennae are used for touch, similar to how humans touch objects with their fingers. |
Bent antennae pair These antennae are used for taste-testing. |
Modified gills These extract oxygen from water vapour, allowing the hermit crab to live on land, as long as the air is humid. |
