HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I would think there wouldn't be a problem with that. I would clean them first though, in boiling fresh or marine salt water. 5 minutes would probably do it.

I can say that the hermie in the picture isn't a land hermit crab, and is a marine species. They do best is marine aquariums set up for marine fish type of thing.

I dpubt they'll catch them and eat them while living, but they may be fair game dead - like little protein pockets/seeds.

surface molting can be dangerous, I think there is some info about it on the molting care sheet. leave the exo in with her so she can eat it. the concern now is if her new exo isn't fully hardened that puts her at risk of being attacked by other crabs. if you have other crabs, do you have a way to ...

Ive had antennae wars even with crabs thats developed a hierarchy. Its common for crabs to have these disputes and usually its settled in a couple of seconds. The only time I'd worry is if one crab starts going after another crab, lile pinching and often the scuffle is accompanied by chirping. I thi...

Java moss requires moist/aquatic conditions in order to thrive. So best placed in the freshwater pool. The metal backing is stainless steel mesh, and will not corrode in the crabs environment and is safe to add. If you want moss outside the bowl, you'll need to source moss that grow terrestrially. S...

Both above have had great success with cycled pools, employing slightly different methods in order to do so. Motor hit the nail on tje head regarding cycled, except ammonia is converted into nitirite and then into the final form nitrate. (Nitrate is removed through algae/plants, waterchanges or anae...
