The Delphinula Turbo

The delphinula turbo is a purple shell. It is not overly popular shell with any species of hermit crab. There are some myths about it though, some rumors have been spread about it being absolutely unwearable - That is not true, some Coenobita clypeatus and Coenobita rugosus happily make this shell their home. You will often find this shell when you buy shell mixes from craft stores, dollar stores or department stores.

Ratings:
Coenobita Brevimanus .5/5 This shell has a structure that does not suit this species of hermit crab, however in desperation this shell could be worn.
Coenobita clypeatus 2/5 This shell is not overly liked by this species but iw will still be chosen on occasion. Some crabbers have PP's that love this shell.
Coenobita compressus .5/5 This shell is absolutely hated by Ecuadorians. The circular shape along with the unliked structure, just makes this shell an awful choice for this species.
Coenobita perlatus 1/5 The Strawberry hermit crab will not commonly wear this shell, but it can be selected by your strawberry hermit crab on a rare occasion.
Coenobita purpureus 1/5 This hermit crab will almost never wear this shell but that does not mean it won't.
Coenobita rugosus 2/5 This species is more willing to wear this shell then other species. When you obtain this species as a pet it will often come in this shell type, but then will often switch out if given good options.
Coenobita variabilis 1/5 The Aussie crab does not like this shell, just like most other hermit crabs.
Coenobita violascens 1/5 This shell has a rather long interior which suits this species but it is not often chosen to be worn.
