Info

Lybia plumosa Barnard, 1947

Lybia is a genus of small crabs in the family Xanthidae. Their common names include boxer crabs, boxing crabs and pom-pom crabs. They are notable for their mutualism with sea anemones,] which they hold in their claws for defense and for feeding.

Often use Bundeopsis spp. and Triactis producta.
