Can I use just Coco coir

Hey everyone I've had crabs previously let's just say ... That didn't end well but I want to have them again , I was wondering if Coco coir is an appropriate substrate

Some people use all coco fiber for their substrate, but it can be harder to maintain. Some also use all play sand. The easiest to maintain is probably a mix of the two.
