If you live in the states, you won't be able to get a blueberry crab. They are exclusively found in Japan, and Japan's laws regarding animal export are very stringent (aka very hard to get permission to export them) so no stores that I know of currently offer them (online or otherwise). There was one online seller who offered them, but that store has closed down.

A couple of threads here at HCP about livehermitcrabs.com:

viewtopic.php?f=99&t=4228&p=36742&hilit ... com#p36742

viewtopic.php?f=55&t=4462&p=36590&hilit ... com#p36590

As of last week, no changes in the mite situation, or any more reliable about responding to enquires.
