Common name: Pom Pom Crabs
Scientific name: Latreilliidae
Latreilliidae, 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 food collection. These crabs are generally peaceful and can be a fascinating addition to a reef aquarium. They require a tank with plenty of hiding places and a stable environment. Their symbiotic relationship with anemones is a remarkable example of mutualism, where both organisms benefit from the association.
