There are smaller crabs you can get at aquarium fish stores. There are some super aquarium stores in the area. You should find someone knowledgeable at one or two of those places and ask them about keeping a crab, and what kinds are best, and how to care for them.

Blue crabs are kept in aquariums at various museums around the state - the Lifeguard Museum on the Boardwalk in OC and the Calvert Marine Museum in Solomon's Island come to mind. I assume if you can get the salinity and temperature correct, and keep them fed, they would do ok.
Just realized this is a really old thread - sorry.
