Boxer Crab

Description

The Boxer Crab (Lybia tessellata) is a fascinating and hardy invertebrate, well known for carrying small anemones in its claws like “boxing gloves.” This unique behavior not only offers protection but also contributes to the overall health of your reef system.

Boxer Crabs should be acclimated slowly and kept in stable reef conditions with proper salinity and temperature. Copper-based medications must be avoided, as they are harmful to invertebrates.

They can be fed sparingly with meaty micro foods or algae-based supplements. The Boxer Crab is available now at Ocean in a Box, offered at the best price for your reef aquarium.
