Say ahoy to the cheerleader of deep seas:
Pom Pom Crab!
[Lybia Tessellata]
These crabs are known for their signature move of always carrying a small living sea anemone around, which helps them catch food and protect themselves from predators. And thas' where they get them name from!
They arr also called "Hawaiian Boxer Crabs"
They can live up to 6 years in a human-made, low competition environment.
Yes, it do shake them pom poms. If provoked or attacked by a predator, the pom-pom crab will threaten the aggressor by waving it’s anemones around, the tentacles armed with cnidocytes (stinging cells).
The Pom Pom Crab are very popular in nano tanks. But don't be keeping these wild hearties in a small cage! They belong in deep seas, not yer aquarium.
[ Fun Fact! This fellows Hawaiian name is kūmimi pua, meaning “inedible flower crab”. ]
Lybia tessellata is a small crab growing to a width of about 2.5 cm (1 in).
The females are sometimes seen with a large red egg mass on the lower part of the body. The eggs hatch and undergo several stages before settling down on the sea floor.
The chelipeds(entire claw) do not have the broad chelae (claws) typical of decapod crabs. Instead they are slim and each has a fine finger bearing eight or nine spines.
What a fit fo' the typical cheerleader gal stereotypa!
They be professional cleaners too! The sea anemone’s tentacles can be used like mops, gathering debris and food particles from the ground around the crab’s hiding place.
They be omnivores but apparently prefer animal matter to plant matter. The front claws are not used for feeding at all, and the first pair of working legs are used for feeding.
