Crabs are an essential cleaner. There are many different species and they vary in size and structure. Porcelain Crabs are a unique species with a flat round body, with two large front claws. They also have a pair of front claws called maxillipeds, which have feather like ends that are used to filter the water for any passing foods.

It is important to provide this crab both solid foods such as pellets or meaty foods, as well as foods designed for filter feeders.
