Yes, they breathe to extract oxygen from the water like a fish.
It keeps air in its shell then breathes it in

There are crabs which breathe water and crabs which breathe air. It is rare to find a crab that does both but intertidal crabs do but they must remain wet to breath air (strange, right?).
Hermit crabs haveb modified gills which means they can't breathe underwater but need 70-80% of humidity and temp to keep their gills moist.
Crabs gills are special they have a part that can help them take the oxigen without needing water.
Yes, hence some species are able to live at great depths in the oceans

Marine crabs breathe underwater using gills, which are located in a two cavities under the carapace. True land crabs have enlarged, modified cavities that act like lungs so that the land crabs can breathe air
