Broke Reefer!
I had a pompom crab in my 10g for awhile. After the last fish loss (7 weeks or so ago) I saw what could have been a molt or the crab being eaten by my nassarius snails. I haven't seen the crab since, and the anemones were still attached to whatever was being eaten so I very well may have lost the crab. A few weeks ago I saw one of the pompom anemones on a rock near the bottom of the tank, then it disappeared (presuming it didn't like the location and moved). This week I've discovered a much larger anemone (few centimeters in diameter) higher up on the rocks in the shade. It looks a little bit like a cross between a majano and a aiptasia, but not exactly like either one. I'm thinking it might be one of the pompoms from the crab that has attached and exploded in size. Is this possible? Should I just kill the thing?
