This terrestrial freshwater crab is from Pulau Lingga, an island east of Sumatra (Indonesia).

In general its body is light brown to brown with purple areas, especially the back end of the carapace which shows more or less blueish. The C-shaped groove in the middle is maroon as a rule.

It was first described by Peter K.L. Ng and Cheryl G.S Tan in 1995. This crab lives at a height of 1,000-1,300 m above sea level.

Geo. notophotum is omnivores. They can take frozen food such as brine shrimp, mosquito larvae, cyclops) as well as fish flakes, granules and fruit. However, the foods need to provide calcium such as: cuttlebone or egg shells as needed.

This attractive Crab is successfully bred in captivity and also it is easy to take care of.
