Pom Pom Crab

Can anyone tell me more about these little guys? THere is one for sale at my LFS for $17. Is this to much? Also would he get along with my LN hawk, CBS, CLeaner and emerald?

Anyone have one of these crabs?

I had one over a year until I got a mystery wrasse and he had crab cakes.
They are very elusive, not out in the open much. Cool little critters though.

I have two in my 55 although i RARELY see them. They are pretty entertaining when they venture into sight. I don't remember what I paid but I would gladly pay 17 for another one.

I've got 5 of those, 2 in a nano, 2 in 75 and 1 in 150. They do get bolder in time. The oldest ones I've had a year and they like to come an stare at me in the evening when I'm on the couch.

I have one in my nano and they are so cute. Don't see it till the lights are out and the moon light is on I can sometimes see it. I bought mine for 9.95 Canadian which is a steal as we pay alot higher prices here for everything saltwater.
Make sure that they come with at least one pom pom (little anemone) they should have 2 though. Mine only came with one and it now has 2 of them as they can split them to have 2.
I would not put it in with a hawk fish as mentioned it will become a nice appetizer for sure. I have a cleaner shrimp in my tank and its fine with that.

I have a small Flame Hawk in the nano with them and he doesn't touch any of the inverts. There is even a Sexy Shrimp in there.
