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!

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
