Ok Narnar! I have been crabbing for over a year now 
Housing/Crabitat: Lots of room to run around and play
CC preferred Tank Temperature: I find mine are most active around 24-26 celcius.
CC preferred Tank Humidity: Not to fussy, 70% is what I try and keep mine at.
CC preferred Substrate: Sand
Diet (Thier regular foods, treats, foods that are their favorite, etc.): I give my crabs, dried cocount (mine love it), dried shrimp, crushed hermit crab pellets, bannana, cuttle fish bones and some mango when in season.
Shells they like to wear: Nerites, Turbo's, Babylonia
Other Characteristics and Behaviors: Love to climb and run around like mad
HTH!
