Welcome to the Panzerwelten-Forum 
As far as I can see the scientific name is probably not valid. I know of these species in Cardisoma:
Cardisoma armatum
Cardisoma carnifex
Cardisoma crassum
Cardisoma guanhumi
But maybe Moni + Ollie can verify that.
The english name is rather horrible too by the way. I see that american dealer are as idiotic with creating names as german ones
I have no idea why your cardisoma died. How much water did you leave him and how did the tank look like? Was the water gone when you returned? We need a few more informations to be able to guess what caused its death.
The 40 Gallon Tank: Can you please give us the measurements (if possible in cm *g*)
Your new crab will be adapted to Landlife, but it still may need to sit - fully covered - in water when it comes to molting. At least thats the case with cardisoma armatum. I would guess bowls are not big enough for that.
If the crab is 15cm in width (just the carapaxe), then it will have a wingspan of 45-50 cm! You will need a big tank for this species, at least 150cm x 50x 50. And I wouldnt be too sure that that will be big enough until the end of his lifespan.
