Not if they're land hermit crabs.

And probably not if they're saltwater/freshwater hermit crabs.

Land hermit crabs will drown in water over their eyes.

Water hermit crabs might fight or try to eat your goldfish and the bacterias from both animals will hurt the other animals.

It's better to keep them in separate tanks.

They will actually eat gold fish flakes. You just have to make sure that is doesn't have an preservation's in it. Other than that, you can certainly feed your hermit crab fish flakes. Fish flakes can benefit the fish color wise, and has the same effect in brightening the color of your hermit crab.

It can and it will, but that does not mean it should. Nothing should eat commercially made hermit crab foods for they contain harmful preservatives such as copper sulfate.
