Dear Asker,
Yes, indeed, Hermit Crabs do have hardened gills. They harden even better and can breathe even better when they are at or in a place with the temperature above 70% but below 80%.
I hope this answers your question.
Sincerely,

They basically live under water all their life. Although I don't know much about marine hermies, mostly land hermit crabs, so ya.
Wiki User

Wiki User

Sand crabs breathe through gills, in the same way that fish do. On land, sand crabs breathe by keeping their gills moist to facilitate the absorption of oxygen in the air.
Can Arthropods have gills?
Arthropods adapted to an aquatic environment that need to extract oxygen from water will have gills, for instance most (but not all) crustaceans, like crabs and lobsters. Crabs can come on land so long as their gills are kept moist; those that do usually seek out damp habitats.

Do crabs breathe through their skins?
Crabs have gills. The underwater ones have larger gills than the terrestrial ones. Terrestrial crabs use the humidity in the air to breathe. this is why crabs live near water even if they are land dwellers. some crabs have very small and basic lungs but these cannot function without water and are usually attached to some sort of gill.
How do sea hermit crabs breathe?
Crabs have gills. They breathe by letting water run over their gills and getting the oxygen out of it. Crabs that spend some time on land carry a little water inside their shell so they can still breathe. This is why you see them running in and out of the water at the seashore.
