Captive care – This crab has “feathers” coming off its claws that it uses to filter feed with. The Porcelain crab usually lives in pairs, and comes in a variety of colors. It will usually hide in the rockwork so this crab can be best seen in nano tanks after the lights are out.

Crabs are extremely sensitive to nitrates and copper and small amounts will kill them
