Freshwater Pom Pom Crab

Freshwater Pom Pom Crab

A tiny, fully aquatic crab known for the distinctive fuzzy “pom-poms” covering its claws. These active little crabs spend much of their time exploring plants, rocks, and driftwood while picking at biofilm, algae, and small food particles. Their unusual appearance and small size make them an interesting addition to mature planted aquariums.
