Baby hitchhiker crab (porcelain crab?)

[1epauletteshark]

I found this in my aquarium i while ago I was told it is a porcelain but if so what type? Doesn’t look like an I have ever seen before it’s an almost brown color with two front claws but also the feathers that it uses to filter feed. I have a much better photo and or video I think that I will puto in this thread later.

Most definitely a porcelain crab. I have(or had) one that looks about the same.

It looks a bit like this and there are at least two and I even suspect there are three of them although the gorilla crabs may have eaten one or two as I haven’t seen them for a while. Just not the same color

However I thought all porcelain crabs looked like this

Any porcelain crab experts here?

That last one is a spotted anemone crab. The porcelain crabs that I've seen come in blue (purplish blue like the one in your first pic), green and red (sandy colored). I've also had some white juveniles, and don't know what color they would become, but haven't seen them in a while and think they might have been eaten. All of them are great!

Exactly this but a bit more red

I have, somewhere in the tank a reddish slightly spotted one with small spots kinda like this, but always while feeding in the middle of the rocks.

If it has the waving fans, it's a porcelain crab. The white ones with spots are porcelain anemone crabs, but there are several other species. They should all be pretty similar in care, aside from the fact that some of them host anemones and some don't.
