Genus
Common name: Inachus Spider Crab
Scientific name: Inachus
Inachus is a genus of spider crabs known for their cryptic appearance and affinity for camouflaging with sponges and algae. These crabs are small and non-aggressive, making them suitable for peaceful reef aquariums. They contribute to the clean-up crew by scavenging detritus and uneaten food. Inachus species are fascinating for their symbiotic relationships with anemones, which provide them with protection. Hobbyists should provide ample hiding spaces and a varied diet to ensure their well-being in captivity.
