**Why Choose the Darwin (AC) Clown?**

Renowned for their hardy nature and captivating behavior, Darwin (AC) Clowns are ideal for both novice and seasoned reef enthusiasts. Their playful antics and endearing personalities make them a joy to observe, while their adaptability to various tank setups ensures they are a hassle-free addition to your aquatic community.

**Care Requirements**

To ensure your Darwin (AC) Clown thrives, maintain water parameters within a pH range of 8.1-8.4, a salinity of 1.020-1.025, and a temperature between 72-78°F. These clowns are best housed in a tank of at least 20 gallons, providing ample space for them to explore and interact.

**Community Spirit**

These clowns are known to form symbiotic relationships with certain anemone species, although they thrive just as well without one. Watching them engage with their environment and tank mates brings an added layer of enjoyment to your reef-keeping experience.

Introduce a Darwin (AC) Clown to your reef aquarium and watch as it becomes a beloved star of your underwater realm, delighting you with its beauty and charm every day.

Feeding & Diet

An opportunistic omnivore, the Pithos Crab will scavenge detritus, uneaten food, and algae — making it a natural cleanup crew member. Supplement with small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or pellets 2–3x per week if natural food sources are limited.

Care & Water Parameters

The Pithos Crab thrives in stable, well-maintained reef conditions. Target parameters: temperature 72–78°F, salinity 1.025–1.026 SG, pH 8.1–8.4, and alkalinity 8–12 dKH. A mature, established tank of at least 20 gallons is recommended.

Reef & Tank Compatibility

Generally considered reef-safe. The Pithos Crab coexists well with most corals and peaceful fish. Use caution with very small invertebrates or slow-moving tankmates. Provide ample rockwork and hiding spots to reduce territorial behavior.

Size & Growth

Pithos Crabs are typically shipped at 0.5–1.5 inches. They are slow-growing and generally remain small, making them well-suited for nano and mid-size reef systems.
