  Felix said that Indonesian C.purpureus do not Have ridges on the BP, so it definitely different from that in Japan.
  
  Here is what the native C.purpureus in Japan. I took in Japan.

  Bonjour,
  
  Tout d'abord bravo pour votre site qui est une véritable mine d'informations sur le BHT. Tout comme Nico, je souhaite me lancer avec cette espèce qui est, je trouve, absolument magnifique. Pouvez-vous me confirmer que cette espère n'a pas besoin d'eau de mer? Est-elle appropriée pour commencer?
  
  Merci pour vos réponses,
  
  Vincent

  Bonjour,
  Votre site et génial et je vais me lancer. Ancien aquariophile, je me lance dans le BHT...Mon choix se porte aujourd'hui sur le purpureus comme il semble ne pas avoir beosin d'eau de mer. Cependant, la page descriptive ne fourni pas d'info sur son alimentation. De quelle autre espèce se rapproche-t-il le plus?
  
  Merci d'avance

  Just a little correction on the photo copyright credit - please write that the Picture #03 ( C.purpureus in Fasciolaria tulipa ) and Picture #06 from the top ( pale C.purpureus, or may be a suspect C.pseudorugosus in Cymbolia vespertilio shell ) are copyright of Ladisusen Yuswan ( one of my fellow collector in Indonesia ).
  Thanks to Ladisusen Yuswan for contributing his pictures in this site.

  New members in my collection - just arrived on Friday morning; some of them have beautiful color variations; instead of blue some of them are in burgundy, brown, or greyish purple:

  This guy from Indonesia has stitch marks or ridges on the B P, just like the Ryukyuan version - but indeed most of Indonesian C.purpureus do not have ridges on the B P ( especially on the adult ones ).

  @ Tony :
  Please take a look closer the last picture & pic #03 from bottom ( before the video tags ). They are C.purpureus from the Ryukyuan Islands. Both of them have black smudge under they eyes.

  In fact, you are right Tony for this picture. It's a Coenobita brevimanus.

  The picture from Felix J.Wang may not C.purpureus.
  
  In my option about C. purpureus in Japan, Indonesia, Singapore.
  
  Japan - have (///) ridge on big claw, NO black spot under eye stick
  
  Indonesia & Singapore - DO NOT have (///) ridge on big claw, HAVE black spot under eye stick
  
  So, I think the first two are totally not the same species.
  
  I think C. purpureus only can refer to those in Japan as C. purpureus is official name for those Blueberry in Japan .
  
  For Indonesia & Singapore one, it seems that they are not 'real' C. purpureus. May be only a sub species of C. purpureus because of different geographic factor, and should be have another species name.
  
  I think in the market, many of them are only Indonesia & Singapore Blueberry.
