Hermit crabs protect their soft abdomens by finding and utilizing empty seashells to live in. They carry these shells on their backs, retracting inside them for protection whenever they feel threatened. This helps them to stay safe from predators and environmental dangers, ensuring the safety of their vulnerable abdomen.
