just discovered a 2" teddy bear crab in my tank last night.i've read that they are related to a pom-pom crab.does anyone have any experience with them other than banishment or flushing

Had a tiny one a few years back. Caught him red handed with a fistful of LPS. From what I understand though coral incidents are relatively few with these guys but he will eat every snail and hermit he can catch. Once they're bigger they can start gong for fish. I didn't have a sump at the time, so he got flushed but they're too cool for flushing. Sump him!
