I am been doing some googling and I found a Tusk Hermit Crab. They are some neat little critters.

You are so right. It is such a strange and amazing creature. I have yet to find video of one eating. I am really curious.

From what I know, they're rare and were thought to be extinct until fairly recently. That's probably why there aren't any videos out there. I could be wrong though. Anywho, They're awesome. Crustaceans are my favorite type of animal.
