Porcelain Crab

I want one... They look SO cool & everything I've heard about them seems positive.... Anyone know more about them other than cool factor & water cleaning? I do have some coral... they won't be interested will they?? How big will they get?

 

I don't believe they get too large, and I believe their main food source is filter feeding, so I would say go for it.

 

Are these the crabs that have feather duster looking things on them. If it is, I had one in my nano for quite a long time. It was pretty cool it was always hanging upside down on the rock moving the feathers in and out to catch food.

 

Yep... that's the one, violet porcelain crab.... I bought one, put him in, but I haven't sen him since not much fun when he's hiding all the time.... hoping he'll come out soon....

 

those little guys are way kool. and dont worry to much i have a pom-pom crab that i see about every 2 weeks if i am luck

 

MIne never leave the purple tip Condy. It is cool to watch.

They stay small, less than 2" I think.

 

I had one it was cool... Key word meaning WAS.. disappeared after a short while..

 

I was looking into PomPom Crabs. I would really like to get one. Since you have one, if you don't mind my asking, is there anything special I need to keep in mind? I know that there is minimal damage to other life in the tank from the two small anemones it carries....or at least that's whats been said!!
