Common name: Porcelain Crabs

Porcelain crabs belong to the family Porcellanidae, known for their flat, compact bodies and large front claws. They are peaceful, reef-safe invertebrates that often host anemones, forming a mutualistic relationship. Porcelain crabs filter feed, using their feather-like mouthparts to capture plankton from the water. They are a fascinating addition to a reef tank, providing natural behavior observation opportunities. They require stable water conditions and plenty of hiding spaces to thrive in captivity.
