Try c328, i got mine from there.

mine live easily. 1-2 bloodworm /day for each crab. If not invertebrate small pellet x1 /day for each crab. Some moist land as they like it. And some water for them to go under.

i provided extra dry land in casethey want some dry comfort. Add some plants and they will love u.

currently, most LFSs are selling the red one, the yellow one (Geosesarma bicolour) and the orange and purple one.

Green one is most likely metasesarma obesum, not from the genus geosesarma, and hence is not a vampire crab. Also, green one may need salt water.

Juz went down to Y618 and aquastar. Seems they have ran out on vampire crabs. Anywhere near north area has them? I scared the traveling time may cause stress to the crabbies. Thx

Dont worry, the crabs wont get stressed so easily, there was once i had to bring my crabs to school as i had to pass the crabs to someone after school and the crab survived the whole day in school
