I was looking online and saw "Leopard Crabs" advertised as "FULLY AQUATIC" I'd really like a crab, but is there such a thing as a fully aquatic (no land access) crab? Any suggestions on crabs to look for?

Look up something called a Panther crab. Supposedly they are fully aquatic and FW. Also thai micro crabs are fully aquatic and FW.

Thai crabs need to evantually get out. Its unhealthy for them not to get out. They also do better with salt. I learned the hard way.

There are fully aquatic freshwater crabs in the hobby. They're not hard to get if you know where to look.

...and I just realized how unhelpful that was.
Sign up for the forums at www.franksaquarium.com and ask the owner to see if he can order you some. He's gotten a few species before; the "Rusty Crab" that he gets most often is fully aquatic I believe.
