    		They will most likely die in the aquarium


    PORCELAIN CRAB Petrolisthes spp.

    Tiny porcelain crabs live in abundance in Pacific Coast tide pools. They hide under stones, between mussels in mussel beds, among sponges and tucked into tufts of algae.

    Safely concealed, they eat by sweeping feathery arms through the water like fine-meshed nets to capture diatoms and other drifting plants and animals.

    They rarely survive being taken from their natural habitat.
