The Spider Decorator Crab, also known as Camposcia Decorator Crab, is a small, fascinating crab species that is often kept in marine aquariums for its unique ability to camouflage and decorate its own shell using materials from its environment, such as sponges, algae, and small rocks. This species has long, slender legs and a flattened body, with a brown or green coloration that also aids in camouflage. In an aquarium, it is important to provide ample hiding places and a variety of materials for the Spider Decorator Crab to choose from when decorating its shell. It is also recommended to keep this species in a reef tank with plenty of live rock, as it will feed on algae and small organisms found in the rock crevices. It is generally peaceful towards other tankmates, but may become territorial if it feels threatened or if its decorated shell is taken away. The Spider Decorator Crab is known to be a proficient escape artist, so it is important to keep a tight-fitting lid on the aquarium to prevent it from crawling out.
