Just a few issues I found when skimming:

- There aren't over 500 different species of land hermit crabs. The exact figure varies between sources, but it should be no more than roughly 20.
- When writing out an animal's scientific name, e.g. Coenobita rugosus, the first letter of "rugosus" must be lowercase. "Coenobita rugosus" is correct, while "Coenobita Rugosus" is not.
- Hermit crabs can live in colonies over 100 crabs, not up to 100.
- "Take" is probably a better term than "borrow" in referencing to snail shells. If the hermit crab can take the shell, then obviously the snail has died already.
- Pet store conditioners themselves aren't necessarily toxic, but if they don't do their job properly (i.e. dechlorinate the water), then the tap water will be deadly.
- "Pagurus behardus" refers to a single species of marine hermit crab, not all land hermit crabs. Each species of land hermit crab has its own unique scientific name.
