He's just a dumb, bored hermit crab who found something that he thinks is fun to do.

I used to have a large blue legged that would climb my corner seams, reach the top, and let go and fall all the way back down. He'd repeat this for hours on end.

Think of it like hermit acrobatics... or a roller coaster ride. Fish/inverts get bored just like people do.
