Finally got my vampire crabs!

Been a dream animal of mine for a few years, so happy to have them!

UPDATE: I will be separating the different species! I was sold them all together from someone who seemingly knew what they were doing and had had them all living together but had to take their tank down. I will do better than their previous owner and set them up for success! Thank you all for your input.

Welcome to your new home!

After months of preparation I finally have some vampire crabs in my tank 🥰. Also discovered about 10 babies in the moss that they came in.
Any advice on what do do with the babies is welcome. Do they just go in and it’s survival of the fittest, or should I setup a nursery until they are a little bigger?

She released most of her captives... (vampire crab)

I literally spent hours trying to find signs of baby vampire crabs in my paludarium after I saw mama crab released most of them. I saw it by chance. This is my 1st batch of released babies.

Cohabitation between males

Hii, i have tree vampire crabs hagen in a 30x30x37cm paludarium (second pic) and one molted the other day (first pic) and it turns out it was a male and not a female, so now i have two males and one female. Is ok to keep them all togheder? Or maybe is better to isolate one male and keep the other two in the paludarium?
