Description

Rainbow Vampire Crab (Geosesarma rouxi) is a captivating species ideal for hobbyists seeking a vibrant, manageable crustacean. Their small size, striking coloration, and semi-terrestrial lifestyle make them perfect for paludarium setups rich in plants and microfauna. They require stable environmental conditions, varied nutrition (with calcium), and a species-only group to thrive.

Native to Java, Indonesia, specifically higher elevation regions (~1,100 m above sea level) with humid, moss‑covered forest floors near streams.

The carapace typically displays a pale yellow to light blue tone, with vivid dark red claws and bright yellow eyes.
