HCA: Hermit Crab Association

This morning I picked up one of my crabs and I was looking between his his pinchers and he is super hairy! It's not just 'fuzz', he has like a beard! Lol.None of my other hermits are that hairy, so is it 'normal' for hermit crabs to grow that much hair?

The hairs you see are called setae, they're sensory hairs and most prominent immediately after a molt. I believe as a result of daily activity and digging that the majority of hairs fall out over time.
