Try searching just for "decorator crab"

A decorator crab is a cool critter. However, he will make an imact on his surroundings. He is clumsy, carefree, and opportunistic as to where he gathers his camoflauge from. He is not so much destructive as he is simply a nuisance.

The larger the tank, the more minimal his impact will be.

I think 18gals is way too small. I had mine in a 125 and it still tried my patience at times.
