Is there any information anyone can give me to help assure they are healthy and happy?

Here's a website that I like to pass on when I answer questions about them: http://www.freewebs.com/fiddlercrabcare/ This should tell you everything you'll need to know about how to care for them correctly.
The major points to keeping them is that they need to have some salt in their water, and you need to provide them with a way to get completely out of the water.
Also, be sure to have a cover over your tank with openings too small for them to fit through - they're great at escaping from where you want to keep them!

What a jerk! Dont listen to him! He is stupid! You need to make sure that they have access to dry and wet land. I love fiddler crabs. VERY interesting! Temprature needs around 75-85. In the wild fiddler crabs are scavengers, eating bits of organic matter they find in the sand/mud. In captivity, they can be fed sinking crab food, fish food meant for scavengers (sinking tablets, shrimp pellets, etc), and freeze dried plankton and shrimp.
GOod Luck~~~~!!!

No I won't give you any information on them.
You should have done some research BEFORE you bought them. It is irresponsible for simply buying them on a whim.
Shame on you.
