The Sally Lightfoot Crab, also known as the Grapsus Grapsus, is a brightly colored crab species commonly found in rocky intertidal areas along the western coast of the Americas. It has a flat, oval-shaped carapace with bright orange, red, and yellow markings that provide excellent camouflage against the rocky shorelines where it lives. These Crabs are very active and agile, and they can move quickly using their long, thin legs and sharp claws. They are scavengers and will feed on a variety of foods, including algae, small invertebrates, and even carrion. They are also known to be opportunistic predators, attacking small prey when the opportunity arises. In the aquarium, Sally Lightfoot Crabs should be provided with plenty of rocks and other hiding places to make them feel secure. They will often climb onto rockwork to bask under aquarium lighting. They are generally hardy and can tolerate a range of water conditions but do best in tanks with good water flow and moderate to high levels of oxygen.

It has a tube-like body that can range in color from red, orange, yellow, pink, or brown, with a feathery crown of tentacles used for feeding and respiration. This species is popular in reef aquariums due to its vibrant colors and filter-feeding habits. It requires a stable environment with high water quality and a consistent source of planktonic food. It is generally a hardy species that is easy to care for, but may require supplemental feeding in smaller aquariums. The Dwarf Colored Feather Duster is a sessile species that will attach to rockwork or other substrate in the aquarium.

It may also retract into its tube if disturbed or threatened by predators.
