Does anyone have a boxing/Pom Pom crabs, i was looking at the 3reef sponsors/ads and went to reefscavengers.com i was looking at their inverts and saw a boxing crab also known as an Pom Pom crab, it carries 1 or 2 tiny aneneomes in its claws and uses them to scare predators and to sweep the substrate for food they seem cool and i was wondering if anyone has them and if i should get one.

Reason: heres a photo
They are reef safe but reclusive so once you add it to your tank, you may never see it again. If you have a nano, it might be easier to spot it but definitely not in a large reef tank with lots of active swimming fish around.

i have a 12g eclipse so i thought since i cant put in too many fish ill add some interesting inverts who wont add waste.
Sounds like a perfect set up for the crab then! Just make sure that the fish that you choose to have it share a tank with isn't too active or the crab may spend all of its time hiding.
Mine was hilarious. He was always waving his anemone's at my clownfish who never moved more than 4 inches from his host. The clownfish truly never cared about him but it was funny nonetheless.
I agree with amcarrig though, definately meant for a nano tank.
