Are hermit crabs solitary or in groups

They live in groups, and if they are too hungry to find food, they will kill their companions to satisfy their hunger.

There is more than one solution to this problem, and I think the solution I am thinking of will not solve your problem accurately, and the detailed answer will require you to think for yourself.

The hermit crab is hermit because it is not born with a shell to protect itself, and because it has a soft belly, it is vulnerable to attack. The hermit crab is not as agile as a shrimp, and it has no armor to protect it when it encounters danger, so it chooses a snail shell to dodge. The hermit crab has a degraded abdomen, and its unique shape can hook the snail shell to avoid it from falling, and it will retract into the shell when it encounters danger.

The hermit crab needs to live because it is not born with a shell to protect itself, and its belly is the softest place and is easily attacked by other creatures, so the hermit crab will live in the shell of the snail.

Hermit crabs are not as agile as shrimps, and they do not have the armor protection of crabs when they encounter danger, and they do not have the ability to fight against dangers, so they will choose snail shells to dodge, and even symbiosis with sea anemones to protect themselves.

The hermit crab's abdomen is degenerate, and its unique shape is very suitable for coiling inside the snail shell, and can hook the snail shell to avoid falling, when in danger, the hermit crab will retract into the shell, and in order to avoid damage, it will also use pincers to block the hole.

Hermit crabs are mainly found on the coastal edges of the Yellow Sea and the southern seas, and generally live in the rocky crevices of the beach and the seaside. Hermit crabs use the snail shell as a parasite, and usually crawl with negative shells, and when frightened, they will immediately shrink their bodies into the snail shell. With the gradual growth of the crab body, the hermit crab will look for a new shell to change the shell, there are dozens of known hermit crab species, and the more common species in China's coastal areas are the square wrist hermit crab and the ctenophorus crab.

The square-wristed hermit crab is slightly larger than the ctenophorus hermit crab, and the maximum diameter of the hermit snail can reach more than 15 cm.

Hermit crabs are also known as "white houses" and "dry houses". It is famous for its fact that it often eats shells and other mollusks, taking other people's shells for itself. Hermit crab is mostly found along the coast of the Yellow Sea and the southern seas, and can usually be found in the rocky crevices of the beach and seaside, and sometimes it can be found in bamboo knots, spike coconut shells, corals, sponges, and other places.

As it grows, it will change to a different shell to live in.

It is edible, but the taste is not good.

Hermit crabs will look for new shells to change their shells, and they are all shells of other shells, so they are called hermit crabs.

Guess: It should also be an edible ......

It's not food, are you from Guangdong?

Eat dead fish and shrimp, feed some fish into the water or something.

Hermit crab, the English name is hermit

crabs and hermit means hermit, which means that the hermit crab resembles a reclusive crab that hides in shells from time to time. It always lives on its back to its sojourning shell, and immediately retreats into the shell when it encounters enemies, this seemingly cowardly and incompetent personality, but its way of survival! On the sandy and muddy seabed, the shell of the hermit crab is like an oasis in the desert, the only place where many benthic organisms can stand, so with this home on its back, it can live well in many places where many other animals can't!

Hermit crabs belong to the heterotail group of arthropod crustaceans, the most obvious characteristics are the asymmetrical right-handed abdomen, the surface is soft and not covered by the carapace, making it easy to enter and exit the shell, and the degeneration of the abdominal limbs only leaves the barb of the tail, which can hook the shell shaft and not be pulled out by the enemy, and the fourth and fifth thoracopods are also atrophied and degenerated, allowing the body to retract more into the shell, these evolved characteristics make it very suitable for carrying the empty shell left by the shellfish after death.

Usually it is impossible to distinguish the sex of the hermit crab living in the shell from the appearance, unless it is a female holding eggs and the egg mass is exposed outside the shell, so it must be taken out of the shell to distinguish the sex. The sex of the hermit crab can be determined by the location of the genital orifice, which opens at the lumbar segment of the fifth pair of thoracic feet. The female is in the third pair of thoracopeds.

Basically, all hermit crabs are born in the sea, at least their larvae grow up in the sea, go through a period of plankton, and then emerge to a suitable habitat; Adult land-dwelling crabs, although they inhabit land near tropical seashores, still return to the beach to release their larvae or search for new shells.

Hermit crabs belong to the heterotail group of arthropod crustaceans, and the common hermit crabs can be divided into three categories: live hermit crabs, hermit crabs, and terrestrial hermit crabs. The adults of the family Hermit Crab live in coastal wetlands; The other two families live in the sea, and there are about 86 genera and 800 species of hermit crabs in the world.

The hermit crab is somewhere between a shrimp and a crab, and it needs to live in the shell of a dead mollusk.

The hermit crab lives in the armor of its predator, but because of this armor, it has to run around on its back, even making its right chelicerae larger than its left chelicerae, or its left chelicerae larger than its right chelicera. It's a bit of a "send people under the fence, everything has to change".

Hermit crabs often live in the shells of dead mollusks to protect their soft bellies, hence the name. There are more than 500 species of hermit crabs in the world, most of which live in the water and a few on land. There are also some hermit crabs that no longer live in the carapace, but have developed a hard shell similar to a crab, also called a hard-shelled hermit crab, and the famous coconut crab belongs to this category.

Kamchatka rock crab (Alaskan king crab) is a close relative of hermit crabs, which were once classified by biologists in the hermit crab family (now in the family of stone crabs).

Common hermit crabs can be divided into three main categories: live hermit crabs, hermit crabs, and terrestrial hermit crabs.

Since hermit crabs are omnivorous and omnivorous, they are known as scavengers by the sea, eating everything from algae and food scraps to parasites, and for home fish lovers, keeping one or two hermit crabs in the aquarium will act as a cleaner.

Hermit crabs generally live for 2 to 5 years, but in good rearing conditions, they can often live up to 20 to 30 years, and the longest recorded survival is 70 years.

Hermit crabs have conch shells, shells, snail shells, and even bottle caps as their homes due to the harsh ecological environment. When the hermit crab is born, the body is relatively soft, easy to eat, and when it grows up, it must find a suitable house for itself, so it attacks the conch and kills and tears the conch. Then get in, hook the top of the snail shell with the tail, support the inner wall of the snail shell with a few short legs, and crawl with long legs outside the shell, holding the mouth of the shell with a large chela.

In this way, it moves into a new home that is environmentally friendly and sturdy.
