So when you see them wiping their eyes and what appears to be eating, they are wetting their eyes. Crabs hold water in their mouth area (don't know the term for it) that they use to wet their joints and eyes on occasion when on land. Also the Crabs you have with big bright purple claws are males and the ones with smaller more reddish claws are females.

But everything else is right but the water climate needs to be 70 to 80 degrees and PH level 7.5 to 8.0. But other than tht ur doing a good job.

[@antichristpummeluff9752]

They look so gorgeous! As a tip from an Aquarian: get some razorblade ti scraoe the front glas in order to have good sight on them and in regards to the very fluffy sand, get a sucking pump to clean everything up. Since you offer them food, they are going to poop in the water and Plant parts keep falling down as well as the wood is slowly decomposing, so you definitely want to clean the ground up. Keeps the water nice and clear and u can enjoy the pretty little fellows even more! Greets from Germany!

Vampire crabs after a long and exhausting, most likely confusing trip from the seller to this guy and after being dumped into their new home first thing they do: “Start munching on everything” Imagine you being transported in a cardboard box with no light inside a plastic cup and being dumped into water, your first thought being like: “Yeah, let’s just put everything in sight in our mouth...” no need to accommodate or etc xD

Omgosh .... I 💜💛💜💛💜💛 them!!!!! How dang cute are they! 🦀

[@ellemdraws]

First of all very entertaining video. Secondly I kept this crabs for the past 4 years and I have to say I really like the setup u have for them. Lots of space and hiding places outside and in the water. The hiding places in the water are really important cause this species of vampire crab molds only in water. You also got relatively lucky on that purchase cause I could identify at least 3 females (probably 4) which is really good considering that it is recommended not to keep more males than females in an enclosure. And like you already suggested the prettier crab is a male while the other was a female. As far as feeding goes like mentioned in the vid they eat everything but personally I had a lot of success feeding them Drosophila hydei and/or small crickets once or twice a month. It is so fun to watch them hunt. greetings from Italy

[@psycholeary]

The littlest crab bites 😭!!! I love them!!!!!!

[@nickheywood8758]

ive never had vampire crabs, but ive got a fair bit of experience with marine crabs including emerald crabs, pom pom crabs, anemone/porcelain crabs and hermit crabs, and my experience is they are all very hardy, but mischievous scavengers, and always go where you dont want them to, including in my case i had one climb up the silicone in the corner of the tank and out! but also they are incredibly fun to watch, mine also steal food from everything else and squabble amongst themselves for food! the biggest issue ive had with them is with moults, i have only ever lost crabs due to fighting or through moults, they need calcium, magnesium and hardness along with trace elements to moult properly, i would assume this carries over to vampire crabs? this will get absorbed out of the water over time so water changes will be helpful for them as it will replenish this, someone who has vampire crabs will correct me if im wrong about this however :)
