welcome to the forums!

I'm not sure about the Eucalyptus leaves, but the hibiscus is fine, they sell it at the Addition Store.

So sorry about the crab

I was just wondering if there were any guidelines for how often you should rearrange the crab tank. I feel like in the wild, the crabs' environments would have always been changing, and that it would be good to rearrange the tank as enrichment.
