Zebra Crab
I am sitting here at work, browsing reef forums as normal and I came across a picture of a Zebra Crab! I could not find anymore information on them! How big do they get? Are they hostile? What do they eat? Because they are awesome looking!
And while searching for more info on this guy, i ran across zebra hermits, zebra moray eels. Are these Zebra creatures all from a similar location?

Looks like that little guy is living on a host urchin.

I have 2, and have had another awhile back. They live on urchins, and seem to prefer long-spined black ones of the "diadema" species - which also fit their camoflage pattern best. I've seen written that they are symbiotic with the urchin, but I would say that they qualify more as a parasite, eating spines of the urchin, and nothing else. I have made use of their propensity to "graze" on their host to keep a couple of diademas small enough for my tank. It takes at least two urchins to keep one crab, or maybe 3 urchins to 2 crabs. 2 crabs only can get along if they have separate urchins.
