Neopetrolisthes ohshimai is a species of porcelain crab native to Japan. It is a small, colourful crustacean with a porcelain-like shell. Like the clownfish, this crab has developed an immunity to sea anemone stings. This porcelain crab is usually found within the stinging tentacles of a number of anemone species where it uses its large well-developed claws to keep clownfish from stealing its home.
