How strong are pom pom crab's anemones sting?

[Northwest_Scapes_]

So I'm looking to add a pom pom crab to a 5 gallon since they're pretty cool and recommended for smaller tanks, but does anyone know how strong the anemones they carry sting is? LA says it's not bad and shouldn't cause any damage, but does anyone have any experience with this? Stocking is Macro Algae, Gorgonians, Cespitularia, Shrimp, a squat lobster, and a citron clown goby.

They're harmless. I've had one in my tank for a long time now - he's gotten so old and gone through so many molts that he's actually lost the pom poms. Still waves his little claws around though.

Thank you! I was kind of worried it would sting some of my gorgs, but I think it'll make a pretty neat addition now to the tank

Harmless. Have one in my nano it couldn’t hurt something if it tried

I need to check I still have mine, I don’t want to lift the rocks but I have never seen him and also wondering if they is enough food in a nano for something that hides 24/7?
