Crabs can still use gills when on land; they simply have to remain moist. Hence crabs tend to seek out high humidity locale when out of the water.
They get oxygen from the water and air depending on what species of crab they are
Crabs need oxygen, just like we do, but instead of using lungs inside the body they use gills outside the body to obtain it.The mouthparts are visible on the underside of a crab. The gills through which the animal obtains oxygen cannot be seen. They are soft structures under the side of the shell.Their shells help to trap water near their gills so that they can still breathe the oxygen .
Yes, all land-dwelling animals obtain oxygen through their lungs.
It has gill chambers to store water so that they can breathe using dissolved oxygen from the water while on land.

I don't think I would chance it, the land crab could all into the water. Good luck!
Most likely a land hermit crab, but you should always check with the person that sold it to you.
Well, the water has oxygen in the water so yes, the blue creek crab can live under water forever IF it has too. It usually goes up for oxygen, but the oxygen in the water is a secondary source.
Our body obtain oxygen to our body by breathing.
They cannot live with a land hermit crab because land hermit crabs live out of water so the fish would die (as you know) if it is out of water.
