🦀 Halloween Vampire Crab (Geosesarma bicolor) – Spooky Colors, Lively Personalities

SIZE: 1 – 1.5 inches (adult size)

Add a perfectly spooky splash of color to your paludarium with the Halloween Vampire Crab, a stunning Geosesarma species known for its bold black-and-orange contrast and glowing yellow eyes. With vivid pumpkin-orange claws, dark bodies, and bright highlights, Halloween Vampire Crabs look like tiny, living Halloween decorations wandering through moss and wood.

The Halloween Vampire Crab (Geosesarma bicolor) displays a compact, rounded carapace with deep purple-to-black body tones, striking orange claws, yellow eyes, and lighter markings across the back. As semi-terrestrial crabs, they spend most of their time on land while using shallow freshwater pools to hydrate, feed, and molt. Active, curious, and entertaining to watch, they make exceptional centerpiece invertebrates for paludariums and land–water aquascapes.

Our Halloween Vampire Crabs are healthy, well-established, and acclimated to captive conditions. With proper humidity, clean water access, and multiple hiding spots, they are surprisingly beginner-friendly. Their omnivorous scavenging behavior also helps keep the environment clean by consuming leftover food and detritus on both land and in shallow water areas.

🦀 Why Choose Halloween Vampire Crabs?

Bold Halloween Coloration:
Black, purple, and orange tones with glowing yellow eyes create an unmistakable spooky look.

Active & Fun to Watch:
They love to explore, climb, and interact—most active during the evening and night.

Ideal for Paludariums:
Perfect for mixed land–water setups with moss, wood, rocks, and shallow pools.

Natural Scavengers:
They help clean up leftover food and biofilm, promoting a healthier habitat.

Hardy & Beginner-Friendly:
With stable humidity and hides, Halloween Vampire Crabs adapt well and thrive in captivity.

Provide cork bark, rock caves, leaf litter, and dense plants to create secure hiding and molting spaces. Because these crabs are skilled climbers and escape artists, a tight-fitting lid is essential. Avoid keeping them with fish or fully aquatic species—best housed in species-only paludariums or with compatible invertebrates that share similar needs.

Bring spooky charm, vivid color, and endless curiosity to your setup—order your Halloween Vampire Crabs today and enjoy one of the most iconic Geosesarma crabs available!
