This little guy showed up the other day.
I haven't seen him up to this point.
Seems go be going nuts over the rotifers in the water.
Whether porcelain or not I think it's a good guy right?
(pay no attention to the audio, that's my son chattering away)
 
Vid is kind of blurry but looks
specifically like Petrolisthes galathinus so it doesnt need an anemone or anything.
Here is a better video... less blurry :)
Well it might not be the same one, i did spot a 2nd...

Pay not attention to my daughter babbling this time...

Yes it's p. galathinus. There's also a blue variety (I have 2 of those) and then there are the neopetrolisthes from the pacific which live in anemones.
