Genus
Common name: Pom-Pom Crab
Scientific name: Lybia
Lybia is a genus of small crabs known as Pom-Pom Crabs or Boxer Crabs due to their unique behavior of holding anemones in their claws, which resemble cheerleading pom-poms or boxing gloves. These symbiotic anemones provide protection with their stinging cells, while the crabs offer mobility and access to food. In the aquarium, they are peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive tank mates. They require stable water conditions and plenty of hiding places.
