At birth, hermit crabs emerge as tiny larvae called zoea, which are free-swimming and planktonic. They are capable of swimming and feeding on microscopic organisms in the water. As they grow, they undergo several molts before settling on the ocean floor and searching for a suitable shell to inhabit. This early stage is crucial for their survival and development into adult hermit crabs.
