Overpowering crab smell; slimy shell; meat no longer firm and/or crusty and brownish where cut from body and lack of taste. All this means crab was either defrosted and refrozen or frozen too long. Discard.

To mate dose the crab have to mate with a boy?
Hermit crabs are only known to mate in the wild. To tell what sex a crab is look at the back underside of the legs if they have a dot it is usually a female.
Is your hermit crab a boy or a girl?
You can tell by looking underneath the third row of legs on your hermit crab. On a female Hermit crab, there are two small holes underneath the third row of legs. These holes are called "Gonopores". On a Male hermit crab there are no holes. To check-get your hermit crab out and hold it's shell up. Make sure the shell is facing towards the ceiling and the hermit crab's body is facing torwards the floor. while the hermit crab is dangling upsidown you are able to see underneath the legs where the gonopores might be. And remember: No gonopores=MALE.....gonopores=FEMALE Hope this helps! :)
How can you tell if your hermit crab is a female?
they have 2 dots under their first set of walking legs called gonopores, if they come far enough out of their shell you can tell. Males do not have the 2 dots. Sometimes your hermit crab may to shy to come far out enough for you to tell. but just be patient with it. ;)
How does one cook a King Crab?
If you don't know how to eat crab legs, don't feel bad. In just a few short minutes, you'll have the technique down to a tee! I'll illustrate how in picture's here for you and put it all together in a video eating a dungeness crab. We also have a video to show you how to eat Blue Crab. So, you're done cooking crab legs and you are ready to eat them. This is the best way to get to the crab meat. Come, we'll show you how easy it is. Pick up your crab leg and break off one of the legs at the thigh area where you see all the crab meat. Next, break the end of the leg off and discard into a bucket, bowl or dish. With Dungeness Crab it's not worth the work to get to the bit of meat that is down by the end of the crab leg. Most of the meat is in the thigh area and the first knuckle's after the thigh-meaty area. For King Crab, there's a lot of meat all the way through, even to the claw. Next, you may want to have some crab scissors, like I have illustrated. I like using them instead of a nut cracker or a mallet, but you can use whatever you have handy. You want to get the scissors in on the inside of the leg. Cut through the carcass, then you can pull the leg apart and get the crab meat out. You can tell the difference from the soft meat and the hard carcass of the crab. Then, basically, you "rinse and repeat" with the rest of the crab legs. In the thigh area, where most of the meat is, the carcass isn't too tough. You can probably pick the crab meat out with your fingers. It's ok to do that, too! If it seems tough, again, you can use the crab scissors to cut the carcass from the meat. from how to eat crab web

Crabs have claws and 'legs', sharks do not. People are a lot more scared of sharks than crabs.
How do you tell a marine hermit crab is a boy or a girl?

How do you tell male or female with their claws if they are a purple pincher hermit crab species?
You cannot tell the gender from their claws or color. You must look for the presence of "gonopores" at the base of the last pair of walking legs. Gonopores will be on the female crab they look like two small dots. Look up "hermit crab gonopores" for a photo reference.

Can you tell a boy hermit crab from a girl hermit crab by color?

Yes, they grow back. Like most of the arthropods crayfish have an ability to regenerate their limbs during the moulting. Nevertheless newly grown legs or pincers are usually smaller and weaker.

How can you tell between a girl and boy hermet crab?
First, gently coax your hermit crab to expose the bottom of its second pair of legs. You can do this by hanging it face-down with its belly toward you and letting it stretch toward your palm. On the top joints of the second pair of legs, near the abdomen, if there are two small dots, it is a girl. If you see nothing, it is a boy. This is not always accurate, however.
