moment of panic

I was sure my pom pom crab had died. His little body was floating around in the current. I noticed the cleaner shrimp wasn't out and about either. I have seen molts and this pom pom one did not look like a molt. Sadly, I took the little body out to dispose of with my w/c and then decided I should do a head count of my sexies. One......two....hey, there was Mr. Boxer! I am a bit shocked at how much the molt looks like the real mccoy. Now, hopefully, my cleaner shows up.

Have had that happen a time or two before!  It's a nice surprise when they show up alive.

I had a moment of confusion the other day when there was two pom poms standing side by side.  The molt was identical, and they were both upside down in a cave.  He must have just stepped out of his suit.

Wow!  Where's a camera when you need one?!
