Pom-pom boxer Crab (Lybia tessellata), Bali, Indonesia The pom-pom boxer crab holds a small anemone in each of its claws. It uses them to capture preys that remain trapped in the stinging tentacles of the anemone. The crab can also wave the anemones, a bit like a cheerleader, to scare its predators. The claws became specialized in the seizure of anemones and have no other role. This case of using a "tool" in the world of invertebrates is extremely rare.
