🔍 Description:
The Pithos Crab is a small, compact crab with a rounded body and sturdy claws, often dark or mottled in color. Though not flashy, it’s a hardy and capable scavenger, frequently found hiding under rocks or foraging after dark. These crabs are known for their strong appetite and can help clean up excess waste and uneaten food.

However, caution is advised in reef tanks, as Pithos Crabs may opportunistically pick at snails, sessile inverts, or even corals if underfed.
