∙ 13y agoIf you don't bother them too often they won't pinch you. If a hermit crab is not in it's shell and is laying in the dirt and is gray, don't worry cause it might not be dead. If they're buried in the dirt they're just sleeping. They love to race.

Why are horseshoe crabs in the subphylum chelicerata and why are they unique?
Horseshoe crabs are in subphylum Chelicerata because they have four pairs of walking legs, a pair of pedipalps, and a pair of chelicerae. Pedipalps control food, and chelicerae are pinchers that crush food. Horseshoe crabs also don't have mandibles, which are jaws, and they don't have antennae. They have two tagmata: cephalothorax and abdomen. All of these characteristics apply to organisms in subphylum Chelicerata, and so horseshoe crabs are in subphylum Chelicerata.
