Pom-pom crab eating bristleworm!

[Tired]

Just bought a pom-pom, which turned out to be carrying one regular pom anemone and one aiptasia, and plonked the little critter into my tank. Added a dash of Reef Roids to see if it would get excited (yes), then got distracted for a few minutes. Looked back into the tank, and it had caught a bristly snack.

There are a few results for this sort of thing on Google, so apparently it's a known behavior. Still, cool, if a tiny bit worrying. Maybe they aren't quite as harmless as I'd thought, if they are actually predatory. Long as it leaves the fish alone, we're good.

just curious, how big of a tank does a pom pom need?

Small. They do fine in pico tanks as long as you feed them.
