Beginner builds crabitat and would love some advice

Hi,
I'm planning on having some crabs. I already own a planted rainforest terrarium (substrate earth and a little pool with disstilled water) which looks very nice. I thought, I might as well get an animal (or 3) that enjoys it. I stumbled upon hermit crabs. I read a lot and discovered they apparently destroy plants. How severe is that?
I have two more tanks. So here's my plan:
I will take the rainforest terrarium (72 g) and connect it with the 28g tank (substrate sand and with salt water pool). The crabs would be able to climb from one to the other. If it turns out they destroy my rainforest terrarium, though, I'll disconnect them and the have to stay in the 28g one.
I also have a 20g which will be ISO/ given to someone to watch them when I'm away.
How is my plan?
Thanks,
Hermittimreh
P.S.: When I figure out how, I will post a pic of the existing terrarium.
