Just found after a year, what is it?

phantomg · 04/26/2015, 08:11 PM

I have had my tank (50g, 20g sump) for about a year and a half now. This morning, for the first time, I saw a weird crab like thing but I couldn't get a picture. It had two eyes, banded legs and it looked like where a claw would be there was like a feather duster appendage. The belly or maybe the whole body was red. Sound familiar to anyone? If so, good, bad? Thanks

Sounds like a type of porcelain crab, but a pic would help.

Pom Pom crabs carry anemones around.

Thanks, I appreciate your help. I looked online at both the porcelain crabs and pom pom crabs and I believe what I have very much looks like the pom pom crab.

I would say pom pom also. Did it look like this?
