Really, none of the crabs like the fiddler or red clwaed crabs are good for a community type tank. Althought they're sold in tanks next to freshwater fish, they need to have salt added to their water and a way to get completely out of the water to thrive. They almost need to have a tank set up just for them.
If you're looking to add something other than a fish that will help clean the tank and add some interesting color and behavior, some of the freshwater shrimp would be a better addition for a community tank - they're totally aquatic and won't bother your fish.
I'll provide some links below on the crabs, shrimp, and their care.

Be careful some(almost all) crabs eat fish.
