Well I finally got a few of these little fellas although only 3 as thats all I could find anywhere. My set-up is now half free swimming spaces and about half rocks built up with a lot of walking spaces out of the wateer. It is slightly salty at the moment with but not brackish. I think this should help the transition from the freshwater they came from. I will add a little bit more as I go.

Anyway they have been in there now with my 3 mollies but I have only seen one of them since putting them in. I think I have added too many rocks tbh which means I may never see them but will they become more confidant as time goes by or am I likely to never see these now? I could take some of the rock out and add a piece of bogwood over some other rocks but this would mean much less surface area outside of the water for them, what do you think.
 
I've only had a crab once, and it really didn't spend a heck of a lot of time out of the water... I think as long as they have SOME area out of the water they should be fine.
 
Thx I was begining to think I had created far too much land tbh. I think I will remove some rocks tonight an see what I can do with a mixture of rocks and bogwood.
