I have a ten gallon that I use for quarantining corals and I keep 3 sexy shrimp and a white spot anemone shrimp in it. Unfortunately the Rock anemonea has decided to inhabit a spot under the rock so seeing the white spot is rare. I am upgrading to a 40 breeder soon and will house more anemones including a tube anem or two and several bubble tips. I will stock it with the shrimp and maybe a couple more. I find shrimp to be interesting and highly entertaining.

I really get a kick out of watching our shrimp and crabs, especially hand feeding them.
The crab walks on his rear legs, across the sand waving his arms, like "feed me" !

When I'm cleaning the tank, all of them walk/jump on the hands & arms. My wife tried it and she freaked,......on how it felt. Lol...

I plan to have a glass sump and keep a Sally Lightfoot in there. It seems like the only safe place to keep one, and I just love them

Loved this kid; it broke my heart to sell her, but she has a much bigger home, now.

Couple pictures. Blues where on so not the best..The white spot anemone shrimp just got a new host. The rock NEM it had before never really looked good and it just faded.

Sorry about the late update. But it's a shamefaced crab, honestly the coolest crab I have ever had

I love it! I don't think they are a thing in Australia, I'm so jealous!

So it's hard to tell through the pictures and with him being so small. But if he is one, one thing you'll first notice is that they burry themselves in the sandbed. They also don't tend to climb very much. But he does very much look like one. Easiest way to identify is by their claws but yours is super small.
Here are some molts of my shamefaced

Yours crab is so big! And coooooool! Mine seems to have a few similarities but might well be a different family of crab. One day I would love to get one someday though :3

Does yours burry itself in your sand bed?
And I have seen different shamefaced crabs that have really cool patterns out there. You'd definitely have to keep an eye out for them, because they don't show up on the market very much and most people don't buy them. But you could ask your local fishstore if they could order one for you, or keep an eye out for ya. But definitely my favorite invert by far.

It is in a hang on box at the moment, I don't have an appropriate place in my tanks for it for the moment [emoji14] so no sand for it, but we will see soon. I work at my lfs, and always check through the order lists but nothing that exciting pops up
