Hi guys and gals,
Happy Turkey Day!
I'm going to be breaking down my Biocube and am looking for a good home for my pom pom crab.
It rarely comes out, so it needs a smaller tank so it doesn't get eaten or lost.
Will need a home for it as soon as I get rid of the cube.

So these guys are totally coral safe, if their anemones die they won't grab some Zoas? Because they've very cool

from liveaquaria:
overview
The Pom Pom Crab is white to tan in coloration and has darker markings covering the body which serve as camouflage for the crab. This crab carries an anemone in each claw which it uses for defense. Besides defense, the crab will also use the anemones to mop up food off of the rocks and substrate.
The Pom Pom Crab is an interesting addition to an aquarium with its anemones in each hand. It raises these anemones at would be predators and aids in cleaning the aquarium of any left over food and detritus. Caution should be used when adding this crab to a reef aquarium as the anemones could sting sessile invertebrates and corals. The damage that could potentially be caused by these tiny anemones that come on each claw would be minimal due to their very tiny size.
The diet of the Pom Pom Crab should include meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, chopped fish and clams.
Approximate Purchase Size: 1/2" to 1"
none of my zoas were affected. It was cool to see him do a victory dance on top of my goby that died. I couldn't get to it because it was behind the rock work, but he made short work of him. I didn't see a spike in ammonia/nitrite/nitrate at all.
I will miss him, lol, but then again, I think I've seen him 5 times since I bought him.

Put me on the list too! I'm cycling my new 2 gallon pico for my desk at work and I'm on the look out for new (miniature) inhabitants!

I'd be interested if no one else ends up taking it. I've been thinking about getting a pom-pom crab lately and my tank needs more invertebrates.
