They look great, Chris! Do you have a nice tight top on the palu? I'd hate to see them get out when they turn into bats and start flying around...

The purple on the claws is excellent. How big will they get?

I have screen top that I bough especially for them. LOL

They should get around 2.5 inches full body (with legs).

So it turns out these aren't regular Vampire Crabs. They're blue Vampire Crabs (Geosesarma sp. "Blue"). Rarer than Vamps

Nice man, I dig the vampires. I was considering putting them in my mangal paludarium as well! How are they working out together, fighting or non-aggressive? But yeah I dig the setup!

I doubt they even see each other most of the time. They hide, so I'd probably only put plants where you can easily see them. They are pretty awesome and they don't touch each other at all.
