Compatibility: Pom Pom Crabs are generally peaceful but can be territorial toward members of their own species. They are best kept singly or in mated pairs.
-
Decor: Provide plenty of live rock with crevices and hiding spots, as well as soft corals for them to carry as pom poms for defense and camouflage.
