It doesn't matter if you buy it from the pet store of get it of the beach becuse so far it's IMPOSSABLE to bread these in captiveity..i would recomend getting a 10+ gallon tank with sand or little rocks make the water brackish..
They're not tough to care for. They need BRACKISH water (instructions for brackish should be on whatever aquarium salt you buy), and some land in their tank. What you could do is get a 10+ gallon tank (20+ is better, long tanks are better) and make a slope of sand or gravel and fill the remaining area with water, and give rocks/decorations they can climb on and hide in. You can feed them sinking pellets; special crab/lobster food is inexpensive. Change water once a week. They do well in groups.
adorable!! :)

Oh yeah, and they climb! Make sure the top of the tank is secure.
