I know of a few but I'm looking for a aggressive crab especially during feeding. I don't know of any crabs with this personally that would be small enough to fit in a 10 gallon.

Sally light foot (have a top)
Spider Decorator

If you go a little bigger calico crab would probably be fine in a 20L.

I see full grown arrows look too big even in my 125.

I second the pom pom crab, a 10g is perfect for them and they'll be out and about waving their anemones

Because it would be fun to interact with.
Lol if you want a fun animal to interact with when feeding get a way bigger and get an eel! Those are really fun to interact with especially during feeding. My two make a show when its feeding day!

eels would be amazing but definitely not something I could handle.
Yeah they are not for everyone! They scare my mom whenever she is over at the house and they come out or she sees them poking out of a hole lol
