Panther Crab

Panther Crab is a striking and semi-aggressive freshwater crustacean native to the lakes of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Known for its orange-to-reddish body marked with dark leopard-like spots, this crab adds bold personality and unique movement to aquariums. While largely aquatic, it appreciates access to dry areas or stable rock structures and is best kept solo or with fast-moving tank mates.
