It is popular in the aquarium trade, where it is sometimes called "Geosesarma “Vampir” Vampirkrabbe" or "Geosesarma sp. “Blue” Blaue Vampirkrabbe". Crabs called "Geosesarma bicolor Krakatau Vampirkrabbe" are probably also G. dennerle. All species of Geosesarma crabs are often called "vampire crabs" in the aquarium trade.

The species is named after the aquarium supply company Dennerle, who supported one of the describing authors' (Christian Lukhaup) study in Java.

The coloration of G. dennerle is very similar to G. bicolor. The describing paper mentions chelipeds, male abdominal and G1 structures as distinguishing features.
