I had my crabs now for about three weeks so this is what i have learned in my short time. I did buy a type of calcium sand that was simlar to the type that you posted. I did setup a 10g that i used for 5 days before going to a 30g(which is half play-sand and half EE). I have notice that calcium sand does seem to clump. I still have the 10g setup for ISO tank. I did end up mixing it with playsand to help it out some. I am planing on using EE or half EE and play sand. I think that the calcium sand is geared towards desert reptiles like bearded dragons that do not have to have as much humidity. but this is just my opinion I am no expert.
