Well i know that fiddler crabs need air along with blueberry crabs (pic provided) any other brackish type water crab? What about chili crabs? And would hermit crabs be fine? It would be a terrarium with a water (25-50% of terrarium) portion that is about 1.022 salinity. Any other crustaceans i could put in there (don't worry about the size

Blueberry Crabs are found in the beaches of Australia

those little crabs are neat but i cant find anything about them. I can only find blueberry hermit crabs. Im looking for a crab for my brackish tank. I may just end up with a fiddler. I have a red claw right now but its missing its red claws and leg. i doubt its good at eating without those claws so it may not make it to its next molt. wish i would have noticed before i bought it.
 
RCC or Fiddlers will do well I believe. Although you may want to lower the salinity slightly if you do add them.
