Yes, you could possibly drown it. Hermit crabs can only swim in an inch of water. That is unless your hermit crab is huge, it could go in 2 inches. I WOULDN'T RISK IT.

How does a Hermit Crab swim?
It depends. If it is a land hermit crab "no", you do not want to put it in deep water to make it swim, it can actually just drown and die. I used to have a hermit crab and my friends babysitted it and when i got back the water bowl was spilt and my hermit crab was laying on its side, dead. If it is a water hermit crab, "yes". It needs water so it can swim, and just relax in it. it needs it!
In a salt water tank do you put water or sand first?
If you are premixing the salt in a large container outside the tank, then put the sand in first. If you are going to mix the water and salt in the tank, then put the water in and mix it first, and then when its mixed put in the (rinsed!) sand. It will fog up, but that will go away.

Is moon sand toxic for hermit crabs?
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
