Petrochirus diogenes
Petrochirus diogenes is a giant marine hermit crab. This species lives in the Caribbean, and often inhabits conch shells [1]. This species of hermit crab is large enough that it can inhabit a fully-grown shell of Eustrombus gigas. It will attack and eat a conch, thus obtaining a meal and a shell.[2]. References
