pom pom crab worth it?

[malx]

Old thread. Just put in my Pom Pom with a small female emerald. If I don't respond back that means they are getting along.

Recently obtained a sweet lil' pom pom crab with two healthy anenomes...things are going great! Last night, she released a crap ton of eggs, it was quite amazing...we sat around with the lights off just watching the "babies" (noea???) get around with their one giant leg they have...it was quite lovely...we've only had this pom pom for about a month, but things seem to be going quite well...only see it at night, of course...but we have plenty of action with all the sexy shrimp we have shakin' it all day long!

Bring an old thread back to life.

On a whim I bought two and they are in my 30G nano. Pretty cool creatures.

I know their anemones have no real requirements though I wonder how they get enough light to stay happy. Just curious. Are they non photosynthetic or are the crabs clever enough to shove them out into the light to recharge them from time to time?

I have a Pom Pom and it's nems are white which implies that it lacks zooxanthellae and bleached out. Keep in mind that the crab feeds them. Mine comes out during the day but never enough to be in the light.
