Many people will say go for EE. I tried it and my crabs hated it. I had it in for about 3 months and none of my crabs woud go in it. Not even when I put their favorite hidey in it.

Now I buy already treated sand, which has some EE, but not very much, probably less than 20%.

You might have to experiment a bit to see what your crabs like.
