I got your tails! This Porcelain Crabs is around 2-3 cm in adult size, white base with brown markings with spots. They are usually found living among anemones, sharing the anemone host with Clownfishes. There is a commensal relationship between the Crabs and the Clownfishes, but not sure in what way they benefited each other.
