If you are asking about a land hermit crab, their habitat is near the ocean, generally near a fresh water source. They live in the trees and forest around beaches, as well as the sand and rocks. They can travel a mile or more per day foraging for food. They require an extremely varied diet, so it is necessary for them to scavenge far and wide.
Some are called "tree crabs" (Coenobita Clypeatus, or Purple Pincer crabs) as they spend a large part of their time up in trees.
hermit crabs dig to bury themselves under the sand when they molt (shed their old exoskeleton).
Hermit crabs live on the bottom of the ocean, in the marine reefs. They are able to eat algae and debris that remains on the ocean's floor.
They live along the East Coast. I have two as pets and I found them in Cape Cod. Their habitat can be Salt Marshes, tidal pools and open shores.
Hermit crabs typically live in a hotter climate. You would find them down in the Caribbeans, and northern South America.
they live by beaches
I think that shrimp live with the hermit crabs.
For land hermit crabs: Tropical or sub-tropical beaches/jungles. For marine hermit crabs: Oceas, seas, tidepools, beaches of all latitudes.
yes but in a appropiat habitat like the beach
Try giving it algea sheets. its the food that is available in the natural habitat of hermit crabs
Hermit crab mites are like head lice for crabs. They are small wingless insects that crawl around inside the shells of hermit crabs. And, just like lice, they have nothing to do with how clean or dirty the habitat or crabs are. Mites can hide out in hermit crab toys, bedding and even food.
A lot
No, Hermit Crabs are omnivores.
They need 70-80 F and 70-85% humidity
Yes hermit crabs have antennas.
fish and bigger hermit crabs
No hermit crabs are small and friendly
No, it is not legal. You must have a permit to harvest hermit crabs from the beach even if it is only one. Additionally, the majority of the hermit crabs found on the beach especially in North America are marine hermit crabs and they will not be able to survive in the kind of habitat that is designed for Land Hermit Crabs. They need a full salt water reef setup and must live under water.
