pom pom crabs

[asherah]

So who has these guys ? I saw them on ocean aquatics page but i'm afraid they wouldn't survive the trip!
Also, do pick up their anemones after they molt ?

thanks alot

I have eleven in my 33g and are fairly hardy. They are one of the neatest crustaceans to keep IMO and have nice coloring. Of coarse have no predators as they are small. I'm sure Wendell will do a good job to make sure of a safe trip. The odd boxer after molting failed to retrieve their anemone, but they seem to keep hold of them.

I still have one but I don't see him very often. Personally in the future I would only put them in a nano becuase in a big tank he will just get lost in the rockwork.

I have one in a 28g. You can see him scooting around in the open when the lights are out and in the rockwork when the light is on.

I saw some at Ocean City in Calgary 4-5 days ago.

LoL

My tank is 30 gallons and has about 25lbs of rock. I wouldn't think that things could hide in it so well but i was wrong as I never see 2 of my fish.

Maybe i'll get a couple of them =p
