Myrtle beach hermit crabs in reef tank?

[jetskiwilly]

Can land hermit crabs sold at wings and surf shops go in our tanks ?

Nope, they will drown. Although they have gills, which must remain moist, they are not able to extract enough oxygen from the water to stay alive.

Oops, drown isn't technically correct. They die from insufficient oxygen.
