Pom pom crab and colt coral?..

[jake_reefdweller]

My pom pom crab has done the wierdest thing. I put in a small frag of a cult coral and the next day I see my pom pom walking around carrying an anemone in one hane and the colt in the other. I'm surprised he could carry it around it was almost half his size. But anyway anyone ever have this happen or have there pom pom carry something besides an anemone. Could this harm him in anyway?

Wow, that's really interesting! I have heard of pom poms picking up other items if they lose their anemones--usually zoas and the like.

 

This shouldn't hurt your crab at all but I'll bet your colt coral is none too happy!

 

Sure be cool if you could get a picture!

Sorry wasn't able to snap a pic because I only see him every so often. Also I found the colt coral on the sand yesterday so he dropped it. He held it for about 4 days. I guess he realized lugging around that huge coral wasnt helping him any.
