I got crabs!

[Woodyth]

I have a bunch of these crabs. They are sure fun to watch. There must be at least 10 of them in my 28 gal. Filter feeders I take it, do I need to feed them anything? Is there a proper name for them, besides fan hands as my wife calls them?

Oh man those are purdy! Following along to see if they are reef safe I want one

Porcelain crabs? I didn't know they made a filter-feeding crab. What will they think of next?
Thanks for sharing, l learned something today!

Someone say my name?

Looks like possibly porcelain crabs, I agree with the above

Very pretty and hardy porcelains

Thanks guys. Isn't what they are doing filtering? Some reason I had Porcelains as white in color?

Having crabs is awesome, we feed ours with basters and they will hug the end of it grabbing every bit of food they can. Then they run off in a hole hoarding it, peppermint shrimp are doing the same as well

And they will also scavenge the rocks and sand for food the rest of the day

Porcelains come in many different colors I have had brown ones and currently have a white one.

Any chance when I find a nice BTA, they will host? Will they deter clowns from hosting it?
