Anyone know of any vendors that sell either one of these crabs? Vampire crabs are similar to red clawed crabs but have purple bodies and orange eyes. Watermelon crabs are a fiddler crab with purple bodies with reddish claws. Any clue on where to get these crabs? I know the fiddler is brackish but thought I would have better chance on here. Thanks
 
I myself am curious to find out also. I have an empty 10 gallon I may want to make a crab shack!

Please be sure and do some reading about their environments. They are more temperamental than red claw or fiddler.
 
This thread is a bit stagnant, but www.littlefishcompany.com (B.C. based) ships throughout north and central america, as well as Europe, has excellent stock and currently list both watermelon and vampire crabs in their "Boiler Room" (in stock with pictures) section.
