Can a pet land hermit crab be placed back by the ocean and left to survive?

ONLY if the setting or location is ACTUALLY its natural environment. Hermit crabs live in tropical places, on the shoreline and first row of trees by the ocean. If you live in the Caribbean, and see other hermit crabs living by themselves in the wild, then PLEASE free the poor guy and return him to his natural habitat! ALL hermit crabs from pet shops were caught in the wild, it is nearly impossible for pet stores to successfully breed hermit crabs in captivity.

How do domestic hermit crabs lay their eggs?
Hermit crabs lay their eggs in the ocean. They live among plankton as hatchling zoea. When they become a megalops they begin the long journey back to land to find a shell. Hermit crabs can spend a long time away from the ocean, even carrying water in their shell and only returning to flick their eggs into intertidal pools. While it's claimed that they can be bred in captivity, it's a difficult process and not fiscally reliable, so all commercially sold crabs are caught wild.
