If the hermit crab's arm falls off is it dead?

No, it is not dead. Hermit crabs can grow back their "arms" over time, though claws missing can be harder to live without. Just make sure you give lots of new shells so they can molt (which is when the arm is grown back). Don't worry-this happened to my herm!


What does a hermit crab do when they moult?

Hermit crabs will eat more drink more and bath in the SEA salt more they will grow a sack under its arm that has the food it will need when it undergoes this process. Then they will bury itself DO NOT dig them up! If you think they are dead and your tank smells like dead fish then it is dead. Hermit crabs molting can take from weeks to months. When it comes out of the substrate when it is done molting it will have it's old exoskeleton DO NOT take it away, it has all the vitamins it need i know its gross but let them eat it. After that they will bath more in SEA salt water and once their new exoskeleton has hardened they wont bath in it was much.

What did Lee mean when he quoted he has lost his left arm but you have lost you right arm?

That was Robert E. Lee when he was told that Stonewall Jackson had had his left arm amputated.

Jackson was important in the war and on Lee's side (Confederacy) so when he lost an arm it was a big deal.
