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!

Do saltwater hermit crabs molt?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hermit Crabs look like they die and fell out of thier shell. The skin they left behind looks just like them but they only grew out of thier old skin and are still growing like a snake, cicada, or anything else that sheds and leaves skin or a shell behind. So don't worry. I found one my first time having one. It looked like it was transfering into a new shell. It was in there for a while so when i picked it up the skin fell off and when i thought it died I almost threw the shell away but I looked in the shell and the crab was in the shell still. So thats when i looked up this question. When hermit crabs actually die they look like a shrimp with their tail but when they molt they don't shed all the way to their tail, only half way. HOPE THIS HELPED.
Can small freshwater crabs be kept with goldfish?
No. If it's small enough for the Goldfish to try and eat it, it will. If it's a larger type of crab, like Fiddler or Rainbow, then these need salty water and land to get out on and will try and catch and eat a Goldfish.
