Real sea sponges can be an essential part of your hermit crab's environment. As well as being decorative, they can be beneficial to the health and well-being of your hermit crab. Sponges are highly absorbent and can hold much water. Placing a few soaked sponges in your crabitat helps maintain tank humidity by providing a larger surface from which water evaporates. Due to structure of their gills, a humid environment makes it easier for your crab to breathe.
