How does a boxer crab protects itself?

A boxer crab protects itself by using anemones as a form of defense. It carries the stinging anemones in its claws, which it can use to deter predators. When threatened, the crab can wave its anemones to deliver a painful sting to potential attackers. This symbiotic relationship not only provides protection for the crab but also helps the anemones by allowing them to move to new areas for feeding.
