This guide aims to familiarise amateur naturalists, beachcombers and divers with crabs, hermit crabs and their close relatives.
It includes information on what they do, how they behave, their environment, ecology and diversity.
In Museum Victoria Field Guide: Crabs, Hermit Crabs and Allies, species descriptions are accompanied by colour photographs, line drawings and illustrations for easy recognition. Further references, such as maps, a glossary, scientific and common name indices are also included.
