Pom Pom Crab (Lybia tessellata)

The Pom Pom Crab carry anemones on their claws to use as a defense, as well as to pick up food of rocks and the substrate. They have small bits of anemone on their claws to help protect themselves from predators. If it loses an anemone they will pick off another piece from an anemone in the aquarium. If there is not one they may take a small part of mushroom or whatever they can find. It will not affect the anemone in anyway. Their diet consists of meaty food as well as some algae. 

This crab is guaranteed for live arrival only.

NO anemones are included with the purchase.
