    Hi guys and Gals. About 07 months ago I went to fetch water (Nsw) and somehow I got a Pom Pom Crab with the water collecting. I only saw him about 02 weeks later in the tank and had to do some "night crawling" to be able to see him again as he only came out at night. A couple of weeks later he came out quite often during daytime. Then we never saw him for about 03 months and I thought he died. Big was my surprise when we stripped the tank (I built a new tank and the old one had to go) and got the pom pom crab again. I took some quick snapshots (you do not always get such an oppurtunity) before I put him in his new home. Some pics:

    Thats cool. I am pretty sure the one I had is no longer living...and if it was, my evil sally light foot would make a quick meal out of it. I think it ate my cleaner shrimp while it was molting.

    I have a pom pom (boxer) crab. He does not come out very often. Food must be making its way under the rock... Anyways, he is very cool and sometimes is found IN my anemone! Crazy! He's the coolest crab i have, but seldomly seen. At 6 bucks that's a steal imo.. it's 25 at my lfs. :(
