What to know before you buy.
These incredibly small, fully aquatic crabs are peaceful and shy, often resembling tiny spiders. They are filter feeders that sift detritus from the water with their hairy legs and claws. Best kept in a species-only nano tank or with peaceful dwarf shrimp, as they are defenseless against fish.
