You gotta wonder how much they'll charge for them each. I'll have to ask for a "Red Square" version for my husband so all the red crabs will have St. Basil's on their backs.

It is a clever idea, but it looks like they are using land hermit crabs in the video. Personally, I've never cared for stuff like that, because to me the big show is the animal, not some decorator shell.

Another thing that kills it for me is that when the crab grows enough, it's going to change to a new larger shell, leaving your designer shell behind.

There are some really pretty natural shells out there that you can put in the tank and hope that they'll change into them.
