I suggest that you not use it because hermit crabs sand should be soft and moon sand can be clumped together. If the sand is clumped together the hermit crabs can't dig. The sand you choose is optional just make sure it DOESN'T have the following:
make sure it can't be clumped together
Make sure you get enough sand that is able to cover double the crab and its shell.
There is A LOT more things to learn about hermit crabs so do your homework and get as much info as possible!
Also make sure to bathe your crabs, here's how:
1. Fill up a bowl of room temp water( make sure the bowl is big enough to cover the crab fully
2.put 1 crab at a time in the water and let go of them when there at the bottom of the bowl.
3.When u see the crab come out(NOT to where you can see his tushie)(make sure it doesn't come fully out of his shell)so when u see the crab come out(not fully) gently take the crab out of the water and back into the tank
