Porcelain crabs?

[Bakes2]

Can you keep more then 1 together? Also are you able to keep them with other crabs like emeralds?

Thanks

I have a porcelain anemone crab, as well as numerous emerald crabs. They have been fine together, though the anemone crab has a RBTA to hangout with for protection.

I have three in my tank and they don't show any signs of aggression towards each other. They just sit around and filter feed.

there are two types of porcelain crabs: anemone and "non anemone." One has a lot of white, has a curled up abdomen and is kind of awkward in its gate while the other is maroon and grey striped and very quick with more of a flattened body. I've kept two of the non anemone types (maroon and grey striped) with no problems. You may have to target feed them meaty foods to keep them longterm. Mine disappeared after I stopped doing that.

The anemone ones (a lot of white, curled up abdomen and an awkward gate) tend to be a little more sensitive. Seems like they rely on the anemone for health.

Porcelain crabs are filter feeders, I feed mine DT's phyto.
