Some say they are like snails & can produce with out a mate. Land hermit crabs have them on land & water ones in water.
Hermit crabs need a male & female to make babies. They meet at the shore where they mate. The female then leaves with her fertilized eggs. About a month later, she will return to release her eggs into the ocean where they hatch immediately on contact with the water. The babies float & develop (looking like see-through lobsters for a bit) for about another month or so before coming onshore to have their first molt and shell. Once they have had their first molt on land, they are then unable to be under water for extended periods without drowning & begin their life onshore.
