Seadragon Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I found the ancient Pom Pom Crab thread and I think you all convinced me to give them a try. I'll be going to a popular LFS either today or next week so maybe they'll have one in stock. 🙂 I just hope it doesn't kick my Yellow Watchman Goby out of it's den! 3 Quote Link to comment

I miss my pom pom.. not sure whatever happened to mine. I saw it 6 times over the course of 8 months. 2 Quote Link to comment
supercowman Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I’ve had a Pom Pom crab for around 6 months now I noticed that he had lost his anemones probably around 2 months in. Getting home from work today and I had noticed that he had grabbed a piece of my frogspawn. I was wondering if this will just die off or if it will grow similar to if it were polyp bailout. 1 Quote Link to comment
nateblunk Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 My two daughters wanted me to set up our aquarium so we did a few days ago. We have fish in it and my daughter wants a crab. I would love to get a pompon crab. My tank is a 29 gallon fresh water tank. None of my fish are aggressive. Would this be ok for a pompon crab or two? Quote Link to comment
mndfreeze Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 This thread is about the saltwater pom pom crab (Lybia Tesselatta). I believe you are looking for Ptychognathus barbatus. Quote Link to comment
NanoGrant Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Bringing this thread back from the dead with a 1 year bump! My pom pom is easily my favourite inhabitant. Great character and behaviour to watch. It’s fairly confident too and I regularly see it out and about towards the end of the day looking for some food and waving it’s anemones around. 2 Quote Link to comment
Nixperience Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I’ve been looking for one for a while now. Don’t want to spend $40 shipping just to get one. Quote Link to comment
NanoGrant Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 That’s a pain about the high shipping cost. Could your LFS special order? I got lucky and this one was just at my LFS when I happened to stop by and I couldn’t pass it up. 1 Quote Link to comment

My LFS sucks, so I just keep checking everywhere to see if they show up in a petco or something lol. 1 Quote Link to comment
NanoGrant Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 So I stopped to have my usual look around the tank every time I walk past it and I noticed my Pom Pom crab has a clutch of eggs! I’m so chuffed that it feels happy enough in the tank to do this. (Excuse the blurry photo but it was lights off, and it’s a bit skittish probably due to the eggs) 1 Quote Link to comment

Super interesting to watch it hunt for food and it’s such a unique invert with it’s relationship with the anemones. They really shine in nano tanks too as they don’t disappear into a giant system. 1 Quote Link to comment
