Let Nick answer that one. I'm a freshwater person.

One other thing - don't be at all surprised if he eats the other crab. Silversides - by which I assume you mean some sort of feeder fish - aren't too good for him. He needs crusteaceans and mollusks, things with nice crunchy yummy shells, to wear down his teeth. That second crab is a perfect meal for him. Other good food would be shrimp, mussels, cockles, snails, etc. Don't feed him krill, though. That'll give him lockjaw.

Good luck with your new friend!
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

The only reason you would need a higher sg would be if you had corals. I run my sg at .020 also. :D So to answer your question yes your porc will be fine. :D
