The Vampire Crab (Geosesarma sp.) is one of the most visually stunning semi-terrestrial crabs in the exotic pet hobby. Known for their vivid purple, orange, and red coloration combined with bright yellow eyes, these tiny crabs make fascinating additions to paludarium and terrarium setups.
About Vampire Crabs
Native to the forests of Southeast Asia, Vampire Crabs are semi-terrestrial — meaning they need both land and water areas in their enclosure. They are nocturnal, social, and surprisingly active, making them endlessly entertaining to observe. Despite their dramatic name, they are completely harmless and peaceful.

Why Choose Captive Bred?
Wild-caught Vampire Crabs often arrive stressed and dehydrated with high mortality rates. Our captive-bred specimens are raised from birth in controlled conditions, resulting in hardier animals that are already acclimated to captive life. Every purchase supports conservation-focused breeding at Terrarium Station LLC.
