If those are freshwater crabs, you may as well try it. Pest snails (I'm assuming those are the ones you're talking about?) breed very quickly and even if the crabs kill some, there will be plenty of snails left over. I wouldn't think that the crabs would go out of their way to bump off the snails though.

I do want to say that half a gallon of water won't be much space for two crabs and a bunch of snails... Can you upgrade to a slightly larger tank, like a five gallon?



And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
