BubbleTrouble Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Oh man I heard about it happening but didn't expect it! I had a few tiny aiptasia that I was going to deal with, but I recently got a pom pom crab so I didn't want to disturb the tank for a few days to let him settle in. During that time I noticed the aiptasia go missing and the lil dude is waving his bundle of home-made pom poms around with pride! In one hand is the anenome he came with, the other hand WAS empty now has aiptasia lmao 4 Quote Link to comment
Tired Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Congrats on your self-propagating aiptasia machine! (Fortunately, IIRC they don't do well being used as pom-poms. They evidently don't adapt nearly as well as the anemones those crabs typically use.) Quote Link to comment

Update since this, I have seen one only tiny aiptasia pop up. I wonder if he prunes them for less competing anemones? Quote Link to comment
