In honor of National Crab Day, behold the Pom Pom Crab!! 🦀
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Pom Pom Crab, Lybia tessellata, is the crustacean sensation that’s sweeping the nation. It’s debated whether the anemones they hold are for defense, camouflage, or mating. But it’s clear they know how to accessorize & they know it 💅

Alice the Pompom Crab- Fan character redesign
Just a redesign I did for fun of one of my Sonic Fan characters
Tumblr media
Here's some of the references I used, I still like the classic redesign I did there, but I wanted to try something closer to the actual pompom crab 😆,I think she kinda looks like a bug as well 😅
I also tried giving her a more Idol look to her as well.
Still had some fun with it! I really like these new colors at least.

Pom Pom Crab Appreciation Post
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Pom Pom Crab, or Lybia Crab (also known as boxer crab) reside in the indo-pacific ocean, and always carry sea anemone around.
From Padi.com: "The crabs are known for their signature move of always carrying a small living sea anemone around in each of its claws, which helps them catch food and protect themselves from predators (thought to resemble pom-poms or boxing gloves)."

Say ahoy to the cheerleader of deep seas:
Pom Pom Crab!
[Lybia Tessellata]
These crabs are known for their signature move of always carrying a small living sea anemone around, which helps them catch food and protect themselves from predators. And thas' where they get them name from!
They arr also called "Hawaiian Boxer Crabs"
They can live up to 6 years in a human-made, low competition environment.

Yes, it do shake them pom poms. If provoked or attacked by a predator, the pom-pom crab will threaten the aggressor by waving it’s anemones around, the tentacles armed with cnidocytes (stinging cells).
The Pom Pom Crab are very popular in nano tanks. But don't be keeping these wild hearties in a small cage! They belong in deep seas, not yer aquarium.

[ Fun Fact! This fellows Hawaiian name is kūmimi pua, meaning “inedible flower crab”. ]

Lybia tessellata is a small crab growing to a width of about 2.5 cm (1 in).
The females are sometimes seen with a large red egg mass on the lower part of the body. The eggs hatch and undergo several stages before settling down on the sea floor.
The chelipeds(entire claw) do not have the broad chelae (claws) typical of decapod crabs. Instead they are slim and each has a fine finger bearing eight or nine spines.
What a fit fo' the typical cheerleader gal stereotypa!

They be professional cleaners too! The sea anemone’s tentacles can be used like mops, gathering debris and food particles from the ground around the crab’s hiding place.
They be omnivores but apparently prefer animal matter to plant matter. The front claws are not used for feeding at all, and the first pair of working legs are used for feeding.

I think Roquefort may have killed Palmier the Pom Pom crab today and if he did I’m gonna cry 🥲🥲🥲
Fingers crossed that what I see in the tank is just a molt…🤞🏻
Palmier did have the biggest balls any invertebrate could possibly have so it wouldn’t necessarily shock me if he finally picked a fight he couldn’t win
