Mostly water. They get it from sponges in the water. They cannot drink out of bodies of water because their mouth cannot sip. So they can only suck the water from sponges.

Do hermit crabs drink fresh water?
The kind of hermit crabs most people think of are Land Hermit Crabs. They live on land, and need at least enough water to submerge themselves. Land Hermit Crabs do need sea salt to keep their body chemistry balanced, and as such, need access to both salt and fresh water. Marine Hermit Crabs require a full saltwater aquarium to survive. Such tanks are elaborate, and should be researched thoroughly before purchase. Saltwater pets of all sorts are often regarded as difficult to care for.

Do humans interact with crabs?
Interact? Hermit crabs and humans are not like. That being said however: Hermit Crabs and humans do both need to eat, and both have their own food pyramid they should eat from to remain healthy. Hermit crabs and humans both need to drink water so they do not become dehydrated. However, water needs to be safe as in hermit crabs if offered tap water needs to have a dechlorinator used to make it safe, whereas humans do not. Hermit crabs and humans both need a certain warmth to prevent hypothermia which can lead to harmful complications or death. Hermit crabs and humans both need salt in their diet even though it is a different type of salt. Hermit crabs need the elements found in ocean/sea water salt/salt mixes and humans need the iodine from salt.
