Family
Common name: Spider Crabs
Scientific name: Majidae
The Majidae family, commonly known as Spider Crabs or Decorator Crabs, includes species renowned for their long legs and camouflage skills. Many decorate their shells with algae, sponges, or debris to blend into their surroundings. In captivity, they can help control algae and detritus, but their size and potential aggressiveness should be considered when adding to a community tank. They are fascinating for their behavior and adaptability.
