Xanthidae is a family
of crab
s known as mud crabs, pebble crabs or rubble crabs. They are often brightly coloured and are poisonous, containing toxin
s which are not destroyed by cooking
and for which no antidote
is known. The toxins are similar to the tetrodotoxin
and saxitoxin
produced by puffer fish, and may be produced by bacteria

living in symbiosis
with the crabs, mostly V. alginolyticus
and V. parahaemolyticus

Family (biology)
In biological classification, family is* a taxonomic rank. Other well-known ranks are life, domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, genus, and species, with family fitting between order and genus. As for the other well-known ranks, there is the option of an immediately lower rank, indicated by the...
