i've always liked the look of freshwater crabs but i've got a fully set-up saltwater tank so i was wondering whether the crab would be able to survive for long and how i would properly acclimatise it

replied to you in /b/, but you're more likely to see it here before it goes to page 10...

freshwater crabs = fiddler crabs.

Fiddler crabs are actually semi-terrestrial, brackish water species, meaning you must provide a land mass for them. Though best in brackish water, they can do fine in water as saline as your average marine aquarium, but they are not equipped for underwater survival, and must be able to get out of the water. Much of their time is spent on land.

If you do get some, make sure your tank has a good top, with cliplocks, because they will climb out

look at emerald crabs (they eat algae in your reef tank) and sally lightfoot crabs (big ones can be assholes). They "look" like crabs and are easy to find at reef stores. For a more alien look there are arrow crabs (again they can be mean).

Most of the fiddlers found in the pet trade are native to brackish water swamps and lagoons and will die if kept in either freshwater or saltwater for an extended period of time. There are species that live in saltwater habitats but even then you need to keep in mind that most species aren't fully aquatic and if they're not given access to land they'll die.
