Pom Pom Crab - Hiding?

Hi Everyone,

I picked up a Pom Pom Crab with both of his anemones from my LFS on Thursday and have only seen him once in my tank. I have a 38G Nuvo so I imagine I shouldn't have a difficult time finding anything. Last night I did spot him in a hole, but have not seen him today.

Is there anything I should do?

Should I be worried?

Thanks!

Don't worry, I find they come out in the evening when you broadcast feed mysis.

When I bought my two, I saw them once and never again for a weeks. I accepted that they were goners until one night when I was feeding the tank, long and behold there they are in the rock work waving their little pompoms

I have two true percula clowns, a royal gramma, and a flame angel. I just ran to where the tank is (the lights are off) and spotted him hidden in the rocks. I must say, I cracked a smile.

The tank lights are off and I ran in the tank room and spotted him! He was behind one of the rocks sticking one of his feet (not sure if that's what they're called lol) out. I had to look closely and he was waiving his Pom Poms. I'm happy to see him since I was about to declare him a goner. I just hope he begins coming out while the light is on.
