⁉️⁉️⁉️
Do anyone have already encountered some mysterious fishy or invert dead in a nano tank having a pompom crab in it ?
I have recently some suspicious dead in my Evo 13.5g, and a post here yesterday showing a pompom crab killing/eating harlequin shrimp have lighten up something in my head ... So I have make some research on Google and found some testimony of poeple experiencing the same thing, and poeple who have seen in front of their eyes their pompom killing fish/shrimp..
Did I have a bad luck to have a Killer Gangsta pompom crab in my Evo ?!!!


I said suspicious dead cause it was fishes who are out and about, eating well the morning and found dead under a rock the same day in the evening with some little chunk taken of them.. a cleaner shrimp who was eating well and through the night was totally disappeared (no body left) in a 13.5g with a really minimalist rockscape and tight lid
 
I don’t have any first hand experience, but always follow the rule that anything is possible. Pom Poms have a reputation of being reef safe, but like any other creature of nature there are exceptions!
 
I had a Pom Pom crab that kept trying to pounce on my pistol shrimp.
