The creature that lives in a Van Hyning's cockle is a pea crab. Pea crabs are small soft-bodied crabs that live as commensals inside the shells of bivalve mollusks like the Van Hyning's cockle. They feed on the host's food particles and detritus.
Hermit Crab, turtle, and clam fit this analogy.
In the story of "The Princess and the Pea," the princess proved her royal status by being sensitive enough to feel a pea hidden under multiple mattresses. As a result, the prince was convinced of her true identity and they were able to live happily ever after.
Yes, you can keep a pea crab in an aquarium, but there are specific considerations to ensure its wellbeing. Pea crabs are small and often live as commensals in the shells of other mollusks, so providing suitable environment and tank mates is crucial. They require a well-maintained tank with stable water conditions and should ideally be housed with species that won't harm them. Additionally, their small size and unique habitat needs may limit compatibility with many aquarium setups.
