This little crab appears to be holding pom-poms. They are called anemones, and are used to scare off predators. This creature is half an inch to one inch (1,3 - 2,54 cm) tall, and the anemones are quite tiny.

“Pom pom crab dance” was uploaded more than a year ago, but it has just resurfaced, so to say, after being featured on Presurfer, Neatorama, and DailyOfDay yesterday.

The pom-pom crab can be found in Hawaii and Indonesia. It can be recognized by its white to tan coloration and dark markings covering its body, LiveAquaria reports.

Throughout the footage, the crab appears to be dancing and having a groovy good time. The video was uploaded by user rendogpico, who is also the lucky owner of the crab. The quality is extraordinary, and viewers have the option to watch at 720P.
