For many years he lived as a hermit at a cabin in the woods.

Of course, i have a hermit crab my friend has 4 and in fourth grade i have 5 for class pets!

Do you mean the scientific name? Land hermit crabs fall under the genus Coenobita and the most common crab is the species Clypeatus.

This is a difficult question. Odds are pretty good that you have some sort of marine hermit crab but there are thousands of marine hermit crab species. Without more specific information like size, color, shell type, location, etc. there's no way to know for sure.

Hermit crabs are onmnivores that tend to eat detritus. Translation - they eat whatever is handy usually dead and decaying organic matter.
