Finally a Pom Pom Crab!!!
 

so yesterday i finally tracked down a pom pom crab! i called up the LRS and asked them, and low and behold they had one! even better was one of the guys i know works there, and put it aside for me before it went and hid again. ive been after one of these for a while, but had never seen them up here. but now i have one!!

it has taken over the little cave on the top piece of my rock. i couldnt find him this morning, but they are mostly nocturnal, so im not concerned yet.

Awesome. I love these oddball inverts.

Cool! He even still has one pom pom! Nice! Where did you get him from? I know Ocean Aquatics had them a couple weeks back.

Awesome, I want one bad. Ive never seen them in a Calgary LFS
( hint to any vendors who read this ) :biggrin:

Whats happens if they do loose their anemone's? Do they break out the shears and cut a new frag for themselves? lol

I am sure i've seen them at golds off and on.

Nice find, I found one as a hitch hiker on some of my live rock a few months back. Finally a hitch hiker that didn't eat or kill something in my tank.

if they have one anenome then they grow that one out and split it. ive read that some people's pompom crabs will pick up a small zoa or ricordea to use as a replacement. pretty cool!

Heck yea thats sweet.
#1 on my to get list.

nice pom pom man, what is the retail valve on that one might have to get acouple of them for the new tank.....

Yeah, he is a cute little guy.....dont be surprised if he goes MIA for a month at a time....we have a 135g and are lucky if we see ours every month! But, its always exciting when we do. Great new addition!
