Re: A few stupid questions

here is the information I found on Hermit Crabs. I do not know much about them as they seem to be a saltwater invertebrate and I do not have a saltwater tank so I am moving this to a saltwater thread.

Re: Hermit Crab Questions

I don't know about marine hermit crabs but I'm guessing they're just like land hermit crabs in breeding habits - dang hard to breed and then, the babies won't survive because they have a stage where they are tinytinytiny (plankton-ish) and they need a HUGE amount of water (as in: ocean) to survive. I suppose its possible that marine crabs are different, but I'm guessing - no babies from breeding them.
