Are there any entirely aquatic FW crabs?

Australia has a few freshwater crabs. The majority of the time they stay in the water, but they do however require a branch or root that protrudes above the surface (not near tank sides) that they can come out if they want.

So a fully aquatic crab, not here anyway :)

The "do not need to come out of water" is a sales pitch.Eventually they will escape or climb into the filter(if it is a external flow one)and die.That smells terrific.

Australia has so many great aquatic species that the U.S just can not find regularly.

Are there any freshwater crabs that are strictly aquatic, i.e., no need to provide them with any dry land? If I got any crabs, I would want the kind that can live full-time in my aquarium with the fish.

I once had a Panther crab that despite providing dry land access he never ventured out of the water, save for climbing round the filter popping head out for a few secs (most of him remained submerged) so maybe that's an option .. he was really cool.

If these are 'red clawed crabs' then they are most certainly not fully aquatic.
