A sea hermit crab carries sea anemones on it's back to protect it from other predators.

What is a Hermit Crab's predator?
It's term 'hermit' is not because it doesn't like other hermit crabs. The hermit crab actually loves being with other hermits. It is called hermit crab because it is only one hermit crab in the shell. It's term 'hermit' is not because it doesn't like other hermit crabs.

If it is a hermit crab, then it is like any other hermit crab, so just take care of it as you would to a regular hermit crab :)
Hermit crabs protect themselves by the shells they live in. By living in shells they are able to hide in them, away from predators.
The response of periwinkles and whelks, both of which are predators of juvenile hermit crabs, can significantly impact hermit crab populations. If these predators increase in number or alter their feeding behavior, they may reduce the survival rates of juvenile hermit crabs, leading to a decline in their overall population. Conversely, if periwinkle and whelk populations decrease or shift their diet, hermit crab populations may rebound. Thus, the dynamics between these species can create fluctuations in hermit crab numbers depending on predator pressures.
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.
Advantages: With a shell, the hermit crab is safer from predators, or any other threats. It is basically more protected. The snails have less shells lying around because a hermit crab is probably constantly looking for a new one. Disadvantages: The snail's shell is heavy on the hermit crab's back, so it slows it down. A hermit crab outgrows its shell and will have to find a new one soon. The snail has no disadvantages. I hope I helped you! Sorry if this isn't what you were looking for! :)
The opposite of a hermit crab is a social butterfly.
hermit crab family always helps
