Esperiopsidae, commonly known as Pom Pom Crabs, is a family of small, ornamental crabs known for their unique behavior of holding anemones in their claws for defense and feeding. These crabs are popular in reef aquariums for their fascinating symbiotic relationship with anemones and their non-aggressive nature. They are generally reef-safe and can coexist with a variety of tank mates. Hobbyists appreciate them for their interesting behaviors and the touch of natural interaction they bring to the tank ecosystem.
