Geosesarma dennerle is a species of small land-living crabs found on Java, Indonesia. [1] It is popular in the aquarium trade, [1] where G. dennerle, in particular, is often simply called Vampire Crab. Crabs called "Geosesarma bicolor Krakatau Vampirkrabbe" are probably also G. dennerle. [1]
Geosesarma is genus of small freshwater or terrestrial crabs, typically less than 10 mm (0.4 in) across the carapace. [2] They live and reproduce on land with the larval stages inside the egg. They are found from India, [3] through Southeast Asia, to the Solomon Islands and Hawaii. [2] In the pet trade, they are sometimes called vampire crabs.
Geosesarma hagen is a species of small land-living crabs only found in Java, Indonesia. The crabs prefer a humid environment with elements from both terrestrial and freshwater aquatic habitats. They steer clear of drier land and although the younger crabs tend to live in closer proximity to the water, they are not aquatic crabs.
Geosesarma rouxi is a species of small, semi-terrestrial freshwater crabs native to Java, Indonesia. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They are commonly known in the pet trade as rainbow vampire crabs. [ 2 ]
More than 1,300 described species of freshwater crabs are known, out of a total of 6,700 species of crabs across all environments. [1] The total number of species of freshwater crabs, including undescribed species, is thought to be up to 65% higher, potentially up to 2,155 species, although most of the additional species are currently unknown to science.

The crabs can travel up to 1.46 km (0.91 mi) in a day, and up to 4 km (2.5 mi) in total. [4] Only a few land crabs, including certain Geosesarma species, have direct development (the mother carries the eggs until they have become tiny, fully developed crabs), and these do not need access to water to breed.
Kiwa puravida is a species of deep-sea dwelling decapod, a member of the genus Kiwa, a genus of animals sometimes informally known as "yeti crabs". [1]The crabs live at deep-sea cold seeps where they feed on symbiotic Pseudomonadota, which they cultivate on hair-like projections on their claws.
The fiddler crabs' carapaces are broadened at the front, while the carapaces of ghost crabs are more or less box-like. Lastly, the eyes of ghost crabs have large and elongated eyestalks, with the corneas occupying the entire lower part, while in fiddler crabs the eyestalks are long and thin, with the corneas small and located at the tip.
