Handnet crab - Neopetrolisthes oshimai

These wonderful little crabs are common on several species of anemones, and in addition to enjoying protection among the tentacles, use the anemone's edges as a safe perch to wave their cup shaped feeding filaments through the water as a means of filter feeding.
