If you are asking about a land hermit crab, their habitat is near the ocean, generally near a fresh water source. They live in the trees and forest around beaches, as well as the sand and rocks. They can travel a mile or more per day foraging for food. They require an extremely varied diet, so it is necessary for them to scavenge far and wide.
Some are called "tree crabs" (Coenobita Clypeatus, or Purple Pincer crabs) as they spend a large part of their time up in trees.
hermit crabs dig to bury themselves under the sand when they molt (shed their old exoskeleton).

No, it is not legal. You must have a permit to harvest hermit crabs from the beach even if it is only one. Additionally, the majority of the hermit crabs found on the beach especially in North America are marine hermit crabs and they will not be able to survive in the kind of habitat that is designed for Land Hermit Crabs. They need a full salt water reef setup and must live under water.
