Hey how are you guys? I got a pompom crab and it was all good had both his anemones now today he has none what should I do please help
Ohhh ok I thought they need them cool thanksIt happens, no big deal it’ll be just fine.
Parameters seem fine, hopefully he misplaced them in his cage wherever it is, it's hard to find the little guy, I'm thinking of getting two more I was told in case they lose their nems sometimes the other pom pom crabs will give them one and plot them themselvesThey can survive without them, but double check parameters just incase something caused the loss. Sometimes they just misplace them. Sometimes they find them again. It can be strange at times, but they can live perfectly healthy lives without the anemones.
I swear I can only see my crabs only once every blue moon but when I do I inspect then good,My guy lost them and later found one, I saw the tiny anemones at the substrate just sitting there, the last one live a long time but eventually since it was tiny either got lost in the rocks or died.
They enjoy being hidden.
My rock work has many holes within the rock so it's hard to see them but when I do I get all excitedShort answer is I do not know for sure as I have kept them in nano tanks only, but I would guess 3-4 as the floor space and rock work allow, if you would have plenty of places to hide and hang out and good (but not hard) flow.
Mine would move around the tank sometimes but mostly just picked a hidey spot and hung around there forever... waving it's little poms slightly in the gentle flow.
3 but I only get to see them once in a blue moon I did a WC last night and they came out as I was removing the waterThat looks nicely done.
Mine liked the lower area near the bottom (tank was only like 12" tall the other about 10" tall though, lol)
How many do you have in there now?
