    I've never had a porcelain crab, but interested in getting one for my aquarium. 
    Is there anything I should be aware of before I buy one for my tank? 
    Thanks,
    Casey

    There is actually two types of Porcelain crabs. One filter feeds and the other resides in anemones. Do some research to make sure you buy the right one. I believe both are reef safe, it's more of a preference between the two.

    both are reef safe. the one that resides in anemones just steals food from him. Porcelain crabs are brownish/tan and cool as heck to watch. Anemone crabs are white camo look. i love watching porcelain crabs feed. It is pry one of the funnest things to watch.
