Robyna_baby Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Hello! It's been a while but I am in need of all of your amazing knowlage! I looked on the Internet for hours and it's all different info.. I trust you guys more then random websites! Ok quick version. I got another Pompom crab and added it to my 16 gallon because from my previous research they do really well in communities, so when I saw that Cuttlefish got some in I was super excited! Well I added the new one yesterday and tonight walking by the tank I saw them all tangled up and fighting! But are they fighting or mating and will they kill eachother or are they just establishing territory? I'm so lost! I split them up and put the new one in the frag tank tillI figured it out.. Everyone please weigh in what you think I should do? If they are both males will they just stay away from eachother or is it a to the death kinda thing?? I am leaning towards putting the new one back in and seeing how it goes.. But would be to sad if it died! I attached a small pretty crappy video of them fighting/mating Thanks in advance!

reefnjunkie Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Id go back to the internet :( I don't see a lot of input and I have no clue, I had to look up the symbiotic relationship when Randy posted his pic on R2R last year, I had never heard off the wooly beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 My guess would be fighting, probably 2 males. Here is a little info http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/379551-pompom-crab/ If you google "Pom Pom crabs fighting" it seems to be pretty common with them.
