One Hermit crab actually lived in a astrea snail body after the snail died, it took over, so this is not a snail and a hermit crab, these are 2 snails Piggy back each other :) I think it's cute :)

haha, mine do this all the time. i always see them, what looks like wrestling with eachother. I keep a close eye on them to see if they are fighting over shells. I have noticed a couple of bodies laying around (dead) but haven't realy seen any empty shells
 
Yeah those are just molted bodies laying around :)

Correction: I might be wrong about the molted bodies... sorryyy
 
I realy don't believe that they are just the molted bodies because they still havepretty much all of the colour left in them. Not to mention that there is a bit of the softer part there as well.

On crabs, they look just likethe real thing, unlike shrimp, where it's just a clear shell looking thing.
