Pocelain crabs

[Chilobrachys]

I have never kept/maintained a saltwater fish tank, but have always found them to be interesting. Yesterday i read an article on porcelain crabs and it made me think about setting up a tank so i could get some. Could some of you who have kept them maybe share some info with me or let me know of a good site.

We have some in our marine lab(temperate intertidal species). They are interesting to watch filter feed...but quite small and tend to be invisible. You'd need a way to make them willing to show themselves(perhaps a rock pressed against the glass so they can hide between the rock and the glass).
