Marine hermit crabs also make fantastic pets. They are the most intelligent, most active, and most smell-perceptive hermit crabs out of the 800+ species of hermit crab that roam the earth.
Eagerly responding to human touch, marine hermit crabs come in a varied range of colors, sizes, and personalities. Unlike saltwater fish, marine hermit crabs' tough exoskeletons enable them to withstand poor water quality that is often typical of the novice aquarist's tank. In addition, marine hermit crabs help clean up organic waste in an enclosed aquatic environment, making them desirable additions to the saltwater aquarium.

Marine hermit crabs live, eat, and grow quite similarly to their land-dwelling cousins. However, they require much different care than their land dwelling relatives.
