Porcelain Anemone Crab (Neopetrolisthes ohshimai)

The colorful Porcelain Anemone Crab (Neopetrolisthes ohshimai) makes a great addition to reef aquariums. This crustacean typically lives in pairs in association with a host sea anemone where they eat planktonic food and mucus from the anemone. In the aquarium these crabs can be protective of their anemone and aggressive towards conspecifics.
