About This Species
The Golden Eye Vampire Crab, scientifically known as Geosesarma dennerle, is a unique and fascinating pet that will add an exotic touch to any home. This stunning crab is best kept in a paludarium, which is a specialized enclosure that provides both aquatic and terrestrial areas for the crab to thrive. With its striking color and interesting habitat, the Golden Eye Vampire Crab is sure to be a conversation starter.
Golden Eye Vampire Crabs are very active and intuitive compared to most small crabs and will take to many varieties of food. We feed them a variety of high-quality pellets. These are smaller crabs and the purchase size will range roughly from 1/2 inch to 1 inch.
PLEASE NOTE: This species is a semi-terrestrial crab. Its habitat has to have land and water. This crab is an ideal paludarium animal.
I love my golden eye vampire crabs! I ordered six but one didn’t make it. The other five are healthy and eating well. I reported the one didn’t make it and they offer me a refund or credit. They got back to me very fast. I took the credit because I plan on ordering more crabs. Shrimpy business is a great place to do business with.
First time ordering a pet/animal online, and I think it went well. The package even came a day earlier than expected. The crab seems to be in good shape.
One thing I noticed though, looking at other websites selling crabs, is that their golden eye vampire crab seemed to look different. I wonder, is this crab that I got not a rainbow “red-legged” vampire crab? It seems to look like one.
Also, I hope in the future I’d be able to buy sexed vampire crabs. I got a male, so I plan on getting 2-3 females for the tank I am building. Let me know if you can help me on that. Thanks!
I had a colony of Vampire Crabs about a decade ago. They were hard to get back then. I was so happy when Shrimpy Business started offering them. They are so fun to keep. If you already have a terrarium or paludarium set up, Vampire Crabs are a perfect addition. You'll already have just about everything the crabs need (high humidity, water area, live plants). I know hobbyists who keep some of them with their dart frogs - with no issues.
I currently have a 32 gallon tank with some 30 of these Golden Eyes. Another 20 in a smaller tank. All bought from Shrimpy Business! SB gets them to you very quickly, and very well packed. The crabs are individually packed a small plastic box that holds moisture (and a little bit of food). This prevents fighting and reduces the chances of DOA. When I order crabs years ago - they all arrived in one plastic cup, and there was always missing limbs and DOAs. Not with Shrimpy Business.
I am very happy with their service - and the crabs are excellent. I highly recommend them.
Theses little crabs are just adorable. That being said make sure you are prepared never to see them.well you might once in a while. It can be very disappointing. Also they are very delicate, my little female only lived 3 days she was just to little and arrived very cold. They dig down in there substrate and it's hard to fine them. I am still learning about them. They like moss on top of the substrate ND places to hide.
