Mandarin crab

I brought one today from the LFS. It says on the label "truly aquatic". The woman (who usually is spot on with what she says) it, will happily scavenge on left over flakes, sinking pellets and micro organisms on fish poo (nice!) wont get much bigger than he/she is now which is about 1 and 1/2 inches across the body and would prefer a bit of salt in the water.

Soome questions.

"truly aquatic" Doesn't need any "land space"?

Also is anything she said not quite true or even complete rubbish?
