Hi all,

need help identifying this nocturnal seemingly filter feeding crab.

May be mithrax but hard to tell buried in structure

Did you check out the video? It seems to have filter feeding appendages.

I can’t see the video but almost looks like a type of porcelain crab

Yeah everytime I upload the video it doesn’t seem to work. It’s a shame too because it is seen much better in the video.

I’d lean more porcelain crab as well. Do they filter feed?

Most people it seems just upload to YouTube or other video hosting. Porcelain do filter feed

I think it's definitely a porcelain crab based on the video. Awesome little guys! Really fun to watch them fan the water looking for bits of food.
