A hardy, reef-safe crab that helps maintain a healthy aquarium environment. These crabs are detritivores, feeding on leftover food, organic debris, and bubble algae, helping to control nuisance algae growth. Generally peaceful with most tankmates, they thrive in established tanks with plenty of hiding spots and are low-maintenance inverts.
