For the most part, yes. You can use the most expensive type which comes in small bags at about $7 per bag called calcisand or normal play sand like you would use in a child's sandbox. If you have a sick hermit crab that needs extra calcium however, you may consider calcisand because the crabs gain calcium from this type of sand. Otherwise, either is just as good for a regular land hermit crab.

Make sure you get enough sand that is able to cover double the crab and its shell.

It is nearly impossible to keep a sand crab alive in a domesticated setting as they rely on the actions of the tides and ocean minerals and microscopic organism for food and neither can be replicated in a tank.

Some crab owners also provide access to cuttlebone or calcium supplements to support the molting process. It's essential to offer a varied diet to ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients for a healthy molt.
