 Re: Pom Pom Boxing Crab-Lybia tessellata
Hey Birdlady, they were selling it in the Hidden Reef in NE Philly? There were only 2 left and they're only selling it for $9 bucks!!! So I bought both of them.
Anyway, from what I read, these crabs use their anemone to sweep up things and also to distract potential predators. They will drop their anemone when they molt. That's about as much as I know, and I'm thinking they should be more of a filter feeder..
Well I watched them dug their own caves under my LR after I put them in the tank and hide in there until my lights were out, they were running around in the crevice of my LR and on substrate this morning. Cool little creatures! And they only grow up to an inch so its perfect for my 30 gallons.
