Pom Pom Crab

The Pom Pom Crab displays a white to tan body with darker markings that provide camouflage. With an anemone in each claw, the crab utilizes them for defense and foraging. This unique crab is a fascinating addition to any aquarium, using its anemones to ward off predators and help clean up leftover food and detritus. However, it’s important to exercise caution when adding the Pom Pom Crab to a reef aquarium as the anemones may harm sessile invertebrates and corals, though damage is typically minimal due to their small size. To maintain a healthy diet, the Pom Pom Crab should be fed meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, chopped fish, and clams.
