Neopetrolisthes ohshimai is a species of porcelain crab from the north-western Pacific Ocean, which may be synonymous with Neopetrolisthes maculatus.[1] It is a small, colourful crustacean with a porcelain-like shell. This porcelain crab is usually found within the stinging tentacles of a number of sea anemone species.[2]
