It's likely... also if you hold it up and gently wiggle it, and it's loose or it falls out of the shell, maybe, but try leaving it in the cage more cause it might be molting(shedding).
My bada fish is dead.
on their backs
Yes they do.
No. People eat them.
If there is a STRONG fishy odor coming from the crab it means that he is dead.
The odor is a dead give-away. If it is smelling particularly fishy or of ammonia, it is going-going-gone.
Not necessarily. Hermit crab do spend some time sitting to destress or simply take a nap. If a hermit crab is completely unresponsive it may be a number of problems but first check your humidity and temperature as they can be early culprits of inactivity.
get a wash
The smell of the fish should be salty, not sort of a rotten smell.The fishy smell is a dead giveaway that it is no longer fresh.
Pick up the crab, if it droops out of its shell kind of it probably molted and that is its exoskeleton and it is just a hollow discard. Look behind it and the actual crab will be there. Wait a couple days, keep giving it food and water but if you eventually start to smell a strong fishy odor the crab has died. Its probably just a molt.
trimethylamine
Any link.
My son gets erections when he smells fishy odor on my fingers after i'm done scratching my vagina wonder why?

Not right away. After a while, semen can take on a fishy odor, though.
Sometimes whe a dog is scared or nervous they accidently express their anal glands. This liquid has a fishy odor, and is usually only released when they have a poop. The anal glands can become infected or impacted and may need to be expressed manualy by your veterinarian or groomer.
