Hi, I have always wanted a Pom Pom crab, but I worry about potential damage to my coral.  Anyone ever had one?  Thanks

We have 2. They used to live in our nano tanks and were fine. No one lives in a sump and one lives in our 65 gallon reef. They tend to hide. I don't really see a risk to corals at all. If anything, there is more of a risk to fish while they are sleeping. Those poms can get pretty fiesty about food/territory.

Do you think it would be a danger to my Diamond goby sleeping in his hole?

Well, the last time I saw the one in our 65, he was living in a rock that our Wheeler's Watchman Goby & Candy Stripe Pistol Shrimp live under/in. And they seemed fine.

But the one my husband had in his nano kind of picked on his jawfish, he kept trying to steal his burrow. He brought the crab home and then the jawfish died.

They have never bothered any of my corals.
