Pom pom supposedly like to nip on corals to carry around once the small anemones it has dies. They certainly are cute little buggers.

I actually seen pics of a pom pom crab carrying a mushroom. Mine carried a polyp of zoa for a while till it died weeks later, at the moment, it is bare clawed.

And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

always wanted a pom pom crab. but im willing to bet a zillion dollars that it will MIA in my tank within the first 10 mins

Besides it going MIA, your nice white pumping xenia heads will also MIA bit-by-bit. :pinch:

Pom Poms do best in a nano tank... i had a pair that vanished within minutes..

I did see them for a bit .. usually really late at night... dancing by the outflow.

that is until my anemone died and wiped out everything.

i dont get it? o.o they're still alive..

do u mean the crab will pick at my xenia?

They have tendency to nip any softy that looks like an anemone. They will have this itchy finger once the anemones they are carrying dies.
