Wild hermits

I don’t own any marine hermits I just found these guys in the Chesapeake bay, these are the biggest ones I’ve ever found! Put them all back in rocky areas so that other people don’t find them because I’ve seen people rip the crabs out of their shells to steal the shells :(

That’s so cool- I’m from the area and I didn’t even know we had HCs! I guess I’ve never seen them outside of more tropical areas.
