Where do hermit crabs get their shells?

Hermit crabs are a species of crustacean that has lost its natural shell, so it has to seek discarded shells from other species, notably gastropods. the crab roams until it finds a spare shell and then enters it. the crab will discard the shell as it grows in size and seek a new one.
