About Quinn's Fins Pom Pom Crab - Ptychognathus

The Pom Pom Crab, scientifically known as Ptychognathus Barbatus, is a fascinating addition to any aquarium. These unique crabs come in small sizes. Their striking appearance, with vibrant red and white colors, makes them a true showstopper. The Pom Pom Crab gets its name from the fluffy, pom-pom-like appendages on its claws, which it uses for filter feeding and grooming. These crabs are relatively peaceful and make excellent tank mates for fish and other invertebrates. However, they may become territorial with their own kind, so it's best to keep only one per aquarium. Providing plenty of hiding spots and live rock for grazing is essential for their well-being. With proper care and a suitable environment, the Pom Pom Crab can thrive and add a captivating touch to your underwater world.
