Lybia
''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. In return, the anemones get carried around which may enable them to capture more food particles with their tentacles. Boxer crabs use at least three species of anemones, including ''Bundeopsis'' spp. and ''Triactis producta''. The bonding with the anemone is not needed for survival, however, and boxer crabs have frequently been known to live without them, sometimes substituting other organisms such as sponges and corals for the sea anemones. The genus ''Lybia'' contains the following species: *'' L. australiensis'' (Ward, 1933). *'' L. caestifera'' (Alcock, 1898). *'' L. denticulata'' (Nobili, 1905). *'' L. edmondsoni'' (Takeda & Miyake, 1970). *'' L. hatagumoana'' (Sakai, 1961). *'' L. leptochelis'' (Zehntner, 1894). *'' L. plumosa'' (Barnard, 194 ...

Lybia Tessellata
''Lybia tessellata'' is a species of small crab in the family Xanthidae. It is found in shallow parts of the tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean. Like other members of the genus ''Lybia'', it is commonly known as the pom-pom crab or boxer crab because of its habit of carrying a sea anemone around in each of its claws, these resembling pom-poms or boxing gloves. Description ''Lybia tessellata'' is a small crab growing to a width of about . The carapace is trapezoid in shape and the margin has a distinct tooth-shaped projection on either side, just behind the short-stalked eye. The surface of the carapace is marked into several differently coloured, geometric regions by a network of dark lines giving it the appearance of stained glass. The chelipeds do not have the broad chelae (claws) typical of decapod crabs. Instead they are slim and each has a fine finger bearing eight or nine spines. The front pair of walking legs is smaller than the other three pairs but all are much larger than th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lybia Edmondsoni
''Lybia edmondsoni'' is a species of small crab in the family (biology), family Xanthidae and is endemism, endemic to the Hawaiian Islands.

It sports unusual polygonal patterns in pink, brown or yellow. The chelipeds are not heavily armoured as in most crab species but are fine and delicate, the propodal-carpal joint being very flexible, and there are several backward-pointing spines. The walking legs are banded in dark purple. On its favorite Substrate (marine biology), substrates, such as thin sand or rubble, the crab is almost invisible. The common name "pom-p ...

Triactis
''Triactis'' is a genus of sea anemone in the family Aliciidae. It is monotypic, having only one species – ''Triactis producta''. This is found in shallow waters in the Indo-Pacific where it lives on the seabed, rocks and corals. It derives much of its energy needs from the symbiotic algae it contains. It also forms a mutualistic relationship with small ''Lybia'' crabs. Description ''Triactis producta'' is a small, cryptic, pale brown sea anemone. The base grows to about in diameter and the column tapers slightly and extends to about in height. It is topped by a crown of about 50, relatively long tentacles. Halfway up the column there is a ring of branching, pale brown pseudo-tentacles. These are tubular extensions of the wall of the column and on their upper side there are a few semi-spherical bulges known as vesicles. These can be grey, pink or green and are packed with stinging cells called cnidocytes. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sea Anemone
Sea anemones are a group of predation, predatory marine invertebrates of the order (biology), order Actiniaria. Because of their colourful appearance, they are named after the ''Anemone'', a terrestrial flowering plant. Sea anemones are classified in the phylum Cnidaria, class Anthozoa, subclass Hexacorallia. As cnidarians, sea anemones are related to corals, jellyfish, tube-dwelling anemones, and ''hydra (genus), Hydra''. Unlike jellyfish, sea anemones do not have a Jellyfish#Life history and behavior, medusa stage in their life cycle. A typical sea anemone is a single polyp (zoology), polyp attached to a hard surface by its base, but some species live in soft sediment, and a few float near the surface of the water. The polyp has a columnar trunk topped by an oral disc with a ring of tentacles and a central mouth. The tentacles can be retracted inside the body cavity or expanded to catch passing prey. They are armed with cnidocytes (stinging cells). In many species, additional n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
