great pics! i adore pom pom crabs. can i ask what type of camera you use and any settings that are helpful?
its a canon eos rebel xt with a 18-55 lens
it was taken on standard settings with the flash
I was trying to hurry! The camera takes awesome pics just point and shoot. I havent really delved into all its abilities yet, but it seems to be working out nonetheless!
Thanks guys! I just wanted to share because these crabs are usually part of the invert-protection-program once they hit the water, and they dont come out very often.

Cool Pics but I also have a question. I bought a boxer crab and it did not have any pom poms. The lfs said it would grow its own anemones. If I don't have anemones in the tank will the crab ever get its pom poms

hey guys..
the crab is not aggressive at all, but at the same time.. he holds his own! whenever a threat is near he starts shaking those poms like crazy and the critter will leave him alone. He was even in a tank with a peacock mantis and survived
I do not beleive they will grow thier own poms if they dont have any. More likely, they have been seen grabbing a coral polyp and using that instead. If they have one pom, they can split it once it reaches the able size (so Ive heard) . Mine came with both poms
happy reefing!
