Coenobita clypeatus chirping

These Caribbean hermit crabs make this noise when they fight over shells, or just when one crawls over the other. It is thought that they rub something against their shell to make the noise.

SHell fight

[Sparrowhawk1031]

It looks like they are having a shell fight... you should put some more shells in and break up the fight instead of taping it....
