So I've had 1 Pom Pom for 3 weeks or so...never really see it. Last night picked up another one...I read they are peaceful and even help each other with sharing the anenome if they lose one so figured maybe a 2nd will make the other less shy and I would get to see them more.
I got the new one in the tank and he picks a hiding spot right out in the open...sure enough not long after i see the other pom pom crab out of his hiding spot and looking the direction of the new one...Lights go out for the nite and i watch the new one start exploring and lost track of the older crab.
So I am checking out the state of things in the tank this morning and I notice the crabs are in one of the little caves. They are facing each other they could be wrestling, fighting, or mating for all i can tell. They are all intertwined legs basically holding eachother. I see ones "hands" are free and now and then legs come up and she/he pushes them down his mouth isn't on the other(so i'm assuming no biting), but can't really see what the other is doing. I REALLY tried getting a picture, but it was just dark and I couldn't get my camera to focus.
I didn't sex the crabs so don't know that information.
Thoughts?
