12scanlon Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Ive decided to take down my pico jar and have a pom pom crab that is going to need a new home. I currently have a 16 gallon bio cube with many corals, six line wrasse, YWG, and clownfish, and other inverts including an emerald crab. I was wondering if he’d do ok in here with the emerald crab and six line wrasse. The six line isn’t extremely big but i’m worried he might stress/hurt my pom pom. he does have both anemones if that matters. thanks. Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 The tank is on the smaller size for a six line, so that could potentially affect its personality. However, with a decent amount of live rock, I don't really foresee a problem. Quote Link to comment
Houston(EX)NanoReefer Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 If the six line isn't bothering any of your inverts currently, I don't think it would be a problem. Anecdotally, I've kept a six line in a similar setup and never had it bother any inverts. 1 Quote Link to comment
12scanlon Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 ok... I forgot to mention I do have a pistol shrimp paired with my YWG. Will he attack he pom pom. He’s made burrows all around the tank and i’ve caught him going after my emerald crab when he’s gone into his burrow. will this be a big deal for the pom pom. Quote Link to comment

It's a safe bet that the pistol shrimp will go after anything that invades its space. 1 Quote Link to comment
lizzyann Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Just anecdotal as well, and doesn't apply to the six line, but I've had a pom pom, pistol, and emerald together in a 10 and now 20 gallon tank with no issues. I don't even have tons of rock work but there's definitely separate islands for them to be on and they all leave each other alone. Quote Link to comment

Here is a picture of my tank. 1 Quote Link to comment
