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.

I've had one for at least 2 years. I only see him maybe once every couple months though. I wouldn't keep one in more than a little nano in the future if you ever want to see them.

they dont mistreat them. they drag them along the substrate to gather food. the anenome gets some, and the crab gets some. the type of anenome they carry doesnt require a lot of light, but the little crabs are mostly nocturnal, so the anenome sometimes gets plenty of light, and other times doesnt get enough, in which case it dies.

how hard is it to breed these i have 1, obviously a female as it gets and egg sac about every 2-3 monthes. if i were to add another what are the chances the eggs would get fertilized. not that it realy matters as my sally would eat the eggs before i saw them.
