Metasesarma obesum Var Whiter. is a small crab that is a good choice for small breeding boxes. White porcelain dolls are widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific region. Similar to hermit crabs, they live on land, hiding under leaves, wood, or burrowing in the sand. The color and pattern of the white porcelain doll Xiangshou crab varies greatly.
