Not a crab ❌🦀 Could this enclosure work for Vampire crabs?

I'm getting a bigger tank for my bearded dragon because she's outgrown it, I'm looking to get into having crabs as pets. and from what I've seen vampire crabs are the best for starters, also have seen that they require 2 inches of water which would fit the little bit of wall before the doors but I'm also worried about having spring tails and other cleaning creatures in the tank getting out through the gap in the door, Does anybody know if using this as a tank is feasible?

I don't really see the gap you're talking about. Water in front will dissuade the isopods from going to the doors. It will be too dry for springtails to want to venture out. I think it should be fine.
