No its a crustation
crustaceans & arachnids are both arthropods(phylum) of the kingdom animalia, but a crustacean is a subphylum, while arachnids are a class of the subphylum chelicerata, so it's like they're they're a whole different category. Crabs are a class, malacostraca, of the subphylum, crustacean. As an interesting sidenote, certain"crabs" are not crabs or crustaceans at all; e.g., horseshoe crabs are a class, merostomata, of the same subphylum, chelicerata, as the arachnids, so they are, in fact, a closer relation to arachnids than to crustaceans, kind of like cousins.

No, unfortunately they can't... Hermit crabs lay their eggs in the ocean, they are born without shells, and eat plankton.

(table salt is harmful to hermit crabs too...)

How do you know if a hermit crab is hungry?
Try to handle your crabs as often as you can. Let them walk on the palm of your hand, make your hand flat and stretch out your hand, so no excess skin is there for the crab to picnch on if he gets scared.
Play with your crab, let them walk around on your bedroom floor, but watch them carefully. You can also hand feed your hermit crab, if you want to buy the kit, it is at
