No, things decompose only when they are dead. A hermit crab out of a shell can still survive, but it is vulnerable to predator attack and from the environment until they find a new shell that fits.
it is to protect themselves from being eaten by predators and if the predator eats the hermit crab, the poison of the sea anemone would be released and the predators will die.
sure, common predators include Octopi, birds, fish, bigger crabs, and mammals (including man) -Akilae
They go into their shell because something might of scared them. They do it for safety in case there's a predator near by.
I think you mean hermet crabs. yes, a hermit crab female can kill a male if threatened. that is to say if you have crabs weak or strong enough to kill or be killed by one another.
Octopi, birds, fish, bigger crabs, and mammals (believe it or not, including man) that is right young 1
Ah, hermit crabs and giant tritons have a fascinating relationship in the ocean. You see, hermit crabs often use empty shells for protection, and the giant tritons, well, they like to snack on these hermit crabs. It's all part of the circle of life in the beautiful underwater world, where each creature plays a unique role.
