| Banded Clinging Crabs (Mithraculus cinctimanus) don't intentionally prey on but algae, particles of organic matter, and mucus ejected with the anemones digested food. Their blunted chela are adapted to to scraping algae and mucus from coral. These crabs are covered in buildups of calcium carbonate and red algae that serve as very good camouflage. |
