Will any sand work in your hermit crab habitat?
For the most part, yes. You can use the most expensive type which comes in small bags at about $7 per bag called calcisand or normal play sand like you would use in a child's sandbox. If you have a sick hermit crab that needs extra calcium however, you may consider calcisand because the crabs gain calcium from this type of sand. Otherwise, either is just as good for a regular land hermit crab.

You can tell a land hermit crab from a water hermit crab by looking at the claws/arms or legs. If it is a water crab it will be blueish and if land crab it will be pinkish purpleish. If your crab is a water crab don't just throw it in water and leave it there, put a tiny bowl in it's tank or cage that is low to the ground and make sure that the water level is a bit lower than the hermit crabs top of its legs. Also have a wet sponge for each kind of hermit crab in the crabs tank.
