Pom Pom crab

I catch this one stealing shrimp meat from Acans after I target feed them. It literally uses its leg to hook the meat out of Acans and then takes the meat. At that point the Acan has already fully engulfed the meat, so it’s more like “milking”

Great picture and a beautiful specimen! I have one in my tank and although I don't see him that often, I always enjoy the moments when he comes out to feed. Such a cool animal!

Thank you! Mine had been “gone” for almost two months and I thought it was dead. After it gets larger I see him almost everyday when I feed the fish, agree they have a lot of characters

I just use iPhone camera. The trick is you only take photos of coral that sits very close to the glass [emoji85]
