Yea definitely. The mouth arms are awesome and never seen that before. I look at my tank every night after lights go out and the stuff you see that you will never see when the light are on is just incredibleGreen porcelain crab. Google that and compare pics. Looks a ton like one.
Thank you for the info on this little guy. He has 60lbs of all live rock to scavenge in. Those mexillipeds are so awesome to watch. I hope he has a friend in there somewhere.Its a porcelain Crab is common in many waters and has a flat, round body with two large front claws. These crabs have a pair of front arms called maxillipeds, which have ends that are feather-like in appearance. They use these appendages to filter the water for any passing food. They are peaceful and interesting invertebrates for the marine aquarium.
Porcelain Crabs live together in pairs typically found within or under rocks in nature. The ideal setting should have plenty of live rock for both hiding and feeding, and will not contain any fish or invertebrates that may bring harm as they are very peaceful invertebrates. They are reef safe, and will not harm other invertebrates or corals.
The Porcelain Crab constantly filters the water for planktonic food, but will also scavenge for larger meaty portions. Offer the crab small bits of fish, shrimp or meaty food,
You will find all kinds of things. I get KP rock a few times a year and have gotten loads of things. I do qt my rock and set traps, but nothing gets killed. It just may not go in the tank I want to put the rock in lol.Yea definitely. The mouth arms are awesome and never seen that before.
