How to Care for Marine Hermit Crabs

Question

My mother went to the beach recently and picked up some shells (with crabs inside) she was just going to let them die. I couldn't let that happen, so I put them in a large 30gal. rubbermaid container. I am skilled in running saltwater and freshwater aquariums , but there isn't a lot of info. online about caring for marine hermit crabs. Any help?? Do they need freshwater in a bowl to drink? I have about 2 inches of salt water in the container with a sandy dry-spot made of substrate. By the way, I plan on releasing them on the same beach they were taken from when I return to the coast in a couple of weeks.
