The Tapestry Turbo

The tapestry turbo is liked by the vast majority of land hermit crabs, the smooth insides and opening shapes seems to be perfect from a hermit crabs view. It has a natural beauty and varies in colour from a green colour to brown. These shells also easy to find for small to large in size. There are also sometimes carved or notched, if you are a hermit crab owner that likes to give there crabs classy shells.


Ratings:
Coenobita Brevimanus 5/5 These shells are perfect for this species. The shell inside is smooth and round the fits this species abdomen very well. The open is also excellent at supporting that huge claw.
Coenobita clypeatus 5/5 This shell gets a 5 rating for this species because this species usually will take this shell over any other shell. If you own this species but have never offered one of these shells test out putting one in, I can almost guarantee you will get a shell swap.
Coenobita compressus 2/5 This shell has a an awful opening shape for this species. However if you aren't offering "D" shaped shells this is one of their favourite "O" opening shells.
Coenobita perlatus 5/5 This species is another tapestry turbo fan. In my experience a Strawberry will take a tapestry turbo over a fox shell.
Coenobita purpureus 4/5 Just like other land hermit crabs this species can't help but switch into the beloved tapestry turbo.
Coenobita rugosus 4.5/5 This species loves this shell as well, even though they like most shells this species will often chose tapestry over the rest.
Coenobita variabilis 3.5/5 This species still likes the tapestry turbo but it isn't their favourite shell.
Coenobita violascens 2/5 All though this species likes the smooth inside, this shell doesn't cater the long abdomen of this species.
