Well I am trying to find out if they are terrestial or not. I just can't seem to find any information on them. It's harded since I do not know their name or anything else for that matter. All I know is that the store that has them calls them "red/orange crabs". I guess I could ask at the store and see what they say.

Looks like it might be a red mangrove crab to me. Picture is a bit blurry though so I may be mistaken.
Are the mangrove crabs saltwater crabs? Do they have their eyes on long antenas? Are they able to live inside water only?

i had asked my lfs guys today if the red crabs were safe to put in with other crabs like emralds and pom poms, he said sure there shouldnt be a problem with them getting along.

Yes I would say those are terrestrial crabs and probably won't survive long-term submerged.
Thanks for your input. I might not get one than unless I can provide a way for him to climb out of water (at the center of the tank).
