It is important to choose shells with the correct opening size for your crab. If your crab's shell is to small you should choose a shell with an opening of 1/4" larger than his existing shell. If his or her current shell is to big, you should consider choosing a shell with a 1/4" smaller opening size.

Give your hermit crab a little variety! If you present your crab with a few properly sized shells to choose from he or she is much more likely to find a comfortable match. You should have at least three shells for every crab in your tank. This will also help to prevent ugly shell fights.
Hermit crabs change shells on their own terms! Under no circumstances should
you try to force your crab to switch shells. Hermit crabs will literally let
themselves be ripped apart before letting go of their shell.
