Pom Pom Crabs

Hi,

I purchased a couple of Pom Pom crabs about 18 months ago. Like most people I rarely see them in my tank, if I do it is only one so I presumed one of the crabs had popped his clogs. However I was very pleasantly surprised to see both crabs at the front of the tank, locked in mortal combat or something more amorous? They stayed together for about 10 minutes holding their symbiotic anemones away from each other. Then they went their separate ways.

It was fantastic to see them both again. Thats what I love about this hobby, the occasional pleasant surprise.

They are beautiful creatures. I am waiting on mine. Decided to pair them with some sexy shrimp as well.

Its possible you caught them fighting to take a nem away from one.

I am not sure what they was doing, there were 4 nems there. It seem as though they were just holding each other?
