If your anenome does not have a Clownfish as a tenant, then this little crab would be happy to move in. These crabs live in protection of the anenome that they choose, and in return they are a bit of a housekeeper for their host. If you do have Clownfish presnt or plan to add one, the crab may try to ward them away, so you may need to find each a home. They are typically found in pairs. |

The Anenome Crab (Neopetrolisthes ohshimai) is sometimes called a Porcelain Anemone Crab. It belongs to the family named Porcellanidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 1 inches in diameter, the Anenome Crab is passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the evening hours or at night and less so during the day. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Neopetrolisthes ohshimai in general should have standard (3 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include rockwork structure.
