Nano aquariums are known for having unstable salinity and water parameters. However, the anemones can not tolerate unstable water parameters and often die shortly after being added to an aquarium. The crabs are very hardy and can be housed in a small aquarium with no problem. The best time to view them is at night, with the lunar lights on. When housed in a large or medium sized aquarium, they will rarely be seen. Pom pom crabs are naturally nocturnal and very cryptic. They should be target fed in the aquarium. The crabs mostly eat meaty foods and are considered aquarium scavengers. This feeds the crab, and in turn, feeds the anemones. Pom pom crabs also use their anemones' sticky tentacles to help them "mop up" food. There was no permanent harm, but I'm sure the goby will think twice before trying that again. I once saw one of my gobies try to evict my pom pom crab from its hole in the rock when the crab "punched" the goby in the face with its anemone. These crabs literally pack a powerful punch. The crab holds the anemones (which contain stinging nematocysts) in each claw and uses them for defense. Probably the most fascinating aspect of these crabs is their symbiotic relationship with tiny anemones of the genus Triactis or Bunodeopsis. See one of my pom pom crabs pictured below. One deserving Nano crustacean is too often overlooked because it is cryptic and nocturnal - the pom pom crab, Lybia tesselata. I think crustaceans make excellent Nano tank inhabitants because they produce less waste than fish and need less room.
