Do you know the Hermit Crab? it's a crustacean (If you've ever been to the sea you have certainly see many of them) with a long soft abdomens which it protects by wearing salvaged empty seashells. Most often it uses the shells of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks. This habit of living in a second hand shell is what gave rise to the popular name "hermit crab", which is a reference to the idea of a hermit living alone in a small cave.
In this picture there is a Hermit Crab who have chosen a really cool shell made of glass... We can definetely call it a chamber with a view! The question now it's if it is a good idea against seagulls and other predators....
