Dromiidae is a family of crabs ,[2] often referred to as sponge crabs . They are small or medium-sized crabs which get their name from the ability to shape a living sponge into a portable shelter for themselves.[3] A sponge crab cuts out a fragment from a sponge and trims it to its own shape using its claws . The last two pairs of legs are shorter than other legs and bend upward over the crab's carapace , to hold the sponge in place. The sponge grows along with the crab, providing a consistent shelter.[3]
