Awesome, I want one bad. Ive never seen them in a Calgary LFS

Whats happens if they do loose their anemone's? Do they break out the shears and cut a new frag for themselves? lol

Nice find, I found one as a hitch hiker on some of my live rock a few months back. Finally a hitch hiker that didn't eat or kill something in my tank.

if they have one anenome then they grow that one out and split it. ive read that some people's pompom crabs will pick up a small zoa or ricordea to use as a replacement. pretty cool!

Mine goes missing for a monthe at a time in my 34 gallon. lost a pom pom at some point im hoping will grow back. mine produces eggs all the time aswell.

I thought it was dead for the longest time then one day im walking by at night and there she is. then didnt see again for another 3 weeks. she been around for 6 monthes now.

They are a wicked addition thou congrats.

his pom pom wont 'grow back' unfortunatly, they are actually small anenomies that the crab hangs on to, but the crab dosent treat them very well (dragges them around and never feeds them) so in the wild they switch them out for new ones occasionaly. he may have just dropped it or it may have died, and i dont think that you can buy new ones, although in a tank with no predators they will be fine without them.
