So I got in these crabs at work, that were very generically labelled as "red crab". They apparently a marine crab, since they were on the marine order list and have survived in salt water for quite some time. They're about 1.5" wide legs included. Bright cherry red, tall eye stalks, with bright blue mouth parts.

The closest i've been able to find online is this:

I believe they called it a mangrove crab.. Not a very good picture, but so far thats the best picture I can find of what appears to be the same species.. Anyone have any idea what they are, and care requirements?
