It is fun man, not to mention they are pretty hardy from the horrible water conditions they live in. The water here is at a steady 1.020-1 and when it rains good it drops to a 1.016. Haha, 1.025-6 they live quite sometime. I still have one of my originals from 8 months ago. However the pipes are another story.

I'm way up north though. My best bet would probably be cape cod although Maine would be closer

So the tank is all set and the crab is in there. He has moved everything around every day all day. He also ate the mojano, some zoas and a couple Kenya trees haha.

Well for a crab the conditions are ideal haha. He should do quite well in there. You mentioned zoas in it earlier....how do they do in there? Other than getting eaten by the crab

They opened right up. They made it two days. I didn't feed the crab one day and he ate them that night
