They are filter feeders, although some species also deposit feed.
Callianassa is a genus of mud shrimps, in the family Callianassidae. Three of the species in this genus have been split off into a new genus, Pestarella, while others such as Callianassa filholi have been moved to Biffarius. The genus is named after the Nereid of the Greco-Roman mythology.
Dromiidae is a family of crabs, often referred to as sponge crabs. They are small or medium-sized crabs which get their name from the ability to shape a living sponge into a portable shelter for themselves. A sponge crab cuts out a fragment from a sponge and trims it to its own shape using its claws. The last two pairs of legs are shorter than other legs and bend upward over the crab's carapace, to hold the sponge in place. The sponge grows along with the crab, providing a consistent shelter.

Paromola is a genus of crabs within the family Homolidae. Members of the Homolidae genus have their fifth pereiopods in a sub-dorsal position, which allows them to hold objects, such as sponges, black corals and gorgonians, over the rear half of the carapace, in a possible defence mechanism against predators.
