Boxer crab anemone
The boxer crab anemone is a small sea anemone, only about 1.5 cm tall, that lives on reefs in the warm Indo-Pacific. It is the only species in its genus, and it is special because it teams up with small boxer crabs, which carry it in their claws.1

Chokwadi
Boxer crabs of the genus Lybia hold one of these anemones in each claw and wave it like a weapon to keep predators away.1
If a crab loses one anemone, it can tear the other in half, and each half grows into a new individual.1
The crab uses its anemones to stun and catch prey for itself.1
In one reported case, a sting left skin pain and swelling for several weeks, with a dark, blistered mark and long-lasting sensitivity.1
The anemones seem unharmed by being carried and used in this way.1
