Porcelain Crab - Petrolisthes caribensis / galathinus
ID: Purples, magenta, red-brown markings form wavy lines across a pale blue carapace and the large flat claws that are lined with tan bristles.
Tips: These crabs are a unique addition to a peaceful reef environment. Known for net-like appendages that strain the water column for tasty snacks. They graze algae on live rock, filter water for plankton, and will accept meaty fish foods. Porcelains tend to hide around fast-moving fish and are best for peaceful tanks.
Rated: Reef Safe
