Yes, a whelk can eat a hermit crab. Whelks are carnivorous marine snails that prey on various invertebrates, including crustaceans like hermit crabs. They use their specialized radula to drill through the hard shell of the hermit crab to access its soft body. However, the likelihood of this occurring depends on the size and species of both the whelk and the hermit crab.
Hermit crabs are invertebrates. They are arthropods and thus within the same phylum as insects, but they are crustaceans and NOT insects. Hermit Crab Classification: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Subphylum: Crustacea Class: Malacostraca Order:Decapoda Superfamiliy: Paguroidea
