I've been in the aquarium hobby for a long while, I've had Fiddler crabs for a long time, but only ever see the usual fiddler crab. Is there more variants that are sold in the fish hobby? There are quite a large variety of fiddler crabs but wasn't sure about other variants or where to get them.

There are as many as 100 different species of crabs in the genus Uca worldwide but most of what is in the hobby are Florida caught fiddlers so could be any one of 6 species. They come in the following

Color Forms: Brown, Grey, Black, Red, Yellow

On a personal note, I've only seen 1 specie of Fiddlers offered in stores here in FL. Others may be available in other states? (y)
