Vampire crab (with crickets)

Vivarium, Monsoon Forest, Chester, 31st March 2023.
Geosesarma hagen(?)
The name vampire crab suggests a large and fearsome crustacean, which these little chaps hardly deserve. I think the tiny dish inside the coconut shell contains diced sweet potato and other vegetables (which would disappoint Dracula o_O).
I guess that the crickets are food for the emerald tree skinks which live in the planting near the top of this vivarium, but they provide a good indication of the scale of this image.
