A captive hermit crab's life span depends on how well he's cared for. Jeffrey Hamilton/Digital Vision/Getty Images. If the wild hermit crab is fortunate enough to live his life in his natural habitat, he can live up to 30 years. A crab in captivity may have a much shorter life, not even reaching 1 year.
Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura, which typically have a very short projecting tail, usually entirely hidden under the thorax. They live in all the world's oceans, in fresh water, and on land, are generally covered with a thick exoskeleton and have a single pair of claws. Many other animals with similar names â such as hermit crabs, king crabs, porcelain crabs, horseshoe crabs, and crab lice â are not true crabs.
