They are one of the worst killers of fish/inverts in tanks. They call them thumb splitters for a very good reason. Trust me you don't want to find out what those claws feel like. The only way to safely keep them is in a species specific tank.

I don't know of anywhere you can get one locally but you can usually find them online. Try looking at www.liveaquaria.com in the divers den inverts section
