Not sure how they act in the water.

But the small crab that are tied for Permit/Pompano/Tarpon are similar in size and shape.

Del's Merkin would be a good starting point.

The ones in this pic I tied with alternating cream & brown heavy yarn. I used cut pieces of rubber bands for legs. Added shot for the ones I wanted to sink. The feathers are to cause a small wade during retrieve. I used 1/0 & 4/0 hooks.

Here is a commercial pic:
