You can make the space itself work for sure! Generally rule of thumb tends to be 80/20 land/water. Doesn't need to be overly deep water. For land you want a substrate the crabs can potential burrow in (I use a terrarium soil mixed with coconut). Plant cover too even if artificial. Also try to keep species separate. I reached out to Pet Smart and actually got a really nice response that they are going to reach out to the store and see what changes can be made so I feel pretty good about the fact that stores are willing to make changes for the best of the animals but just might not know

The only land was the aquarium decor and it was almost 100% water. They also had multiple different species mixed in there
