he Porcelain Crab gets its name from the fact that it will commonly shed limbs in order to escape predators. This should not, however, be confused with fragility as the limb will regrow. It is commonly available in many different colour morphs including blue, orange/red and tan. It has a similar body shape to a squat lobster but is generally flatter. It has a flat, round body with two large claws. Their front arms are called maxilliped and have feather-like ends. They use these appendages to filter the water for passing food.
