Scoll down to Fiddler Crab.
Since you mention "Red", the closest match is "Orange".

Do you still want more? I believe I still have some more links [coutesy from
Boomer].

Do you see the reason for greed earlier post regarding crustecean, Boomer?

Rather not - see picture at fishsupply.com I gave the link to.
They are read with black (dark) parts of the body...

Welp, then I can not seem to find that particular "Fiddler Crab" that you
refer to from fishsupply.com. All "Fiddler Crab" that come up are the
following name other then it common name:
Uca coarctata (Ocypodidae) The Compressed Fiddler Crab
Uca flammula (Ocypodidae) Flamed Fiddler Crab
Uca longidigita (Ocypodidae) Long-digit Fiddler Crab
Uca mjoebergi (Ocypodidae) Canary-yellow Clawed Fiddler Crab
Uca perplexa (Ocypodidae) Lemon-yellow Clawed Fiddler Crab
Uca signata (Ocypodidae) Distinctive Fiddler Crab
Uca vomeris (Ocypodidae) Orange-clawed Fiddler Crab

Maybe Boomer may have better luck in finding that similiar look of your
"Fiddle Crab" like from fishsupply.com.
