An interesting crab that I can never find, is the Paguritta crab. I just heard about it recently, it's a really obscure type of crab. It's a very tiny crab that lives in the abandoned tubes of bristle worms (it's unclear whether they find abandoned tubes or kill them). I think some of them actually live in the polyps of some corals. They do filter feed, it's very comical watching a little colony of them since they are mostly sedentary and don't move around. It would be interesting to try to breed them, since they don't appear to be sold anywhere.

Porcelain crabs are my favorite inverts in my tank they have so much personality and actually come out of the rocks when they see me, just waiting for me to drop something:)

HAHA!! totally agree on the Sally Lightfoot crabs. they are so cool looking and i love watching them run out and snatch food from the water column during feeding, the best crab in my opinion.

I have a Sally Lightfoot, who I suspect is the predator in my tank. It drove me crazy for awhile because I have a very active cleanup crew and they would eat the evidence. After some losses, I finally caught the Sally, on camera, reaching out and trying to snag my smaller fish.

Mad Hatter's Reef, with all due respect. Every thing I have ever read from R2R on says sponges are not reef safe. It isn’t that they compete for nutrients or minerals. But sponges release toxins into the water that will kill corals. I have read about carbon filtering but that also removes trace elements and minerals. So you also have to monitor and dose now too. I wouldn’t call it easy to keep either. Love your show love the podcast. But I disagree with your call here.
