Fiddler Crabs

[moose]

I was thinking of setting up a tank, Does anyone keep them? any suggestions?

I've had hermit crabs. Husband had some fiddler crabs, but he just dropped them in our fish tank and they eventually died. Hermits did well with a sloped sand-and-gravel "land" that ended up in shallow water (we didn't bother making it brackish, but since it was rural well water it was already chemical-free). From what I've heard, it's important to remember they need something to keep their gills moist without drowning them.
Sorry that's probably not much help. They're cute little devils though!
