yes. if you are keeping them as pets then you will need a little bowl of water that is easy for them to climb up to. they need to drink water and also they like to swim in it. always have easy-accesesd water in the tank and refil it once a day. you might need to clean the bowl often if they put lots of sand in it with their claws. they need fresh water (cold) just from a tap every day or every few days to keep them healthy. hope that helps:)

It depends on the type of crab you are referring to. If it is a hermit crab, it will eventually die because hermit crabs need seawater (seawater contains iodine and other minerals that support the growth of the crab.)
