My Pom Pom crab arrived today with no pom pom's. The Pom Pom's are Triactis producta. Where can I get these tiny nems?

Ah that's a shame, who did you get them from?  I assume they split like normal nems so maybe they can send you one?

Just a thought , if you do manage to get new Pom poms how the hell are you going to manage to reattach them ,
Sounds like micro- surgery to me lol

I’ve done a bit of searching about this and have found a couple of answers for you .
They will survive ok without them
They will still wave their arms about as if they still got them ( sounds like a song , wave you’re hands in the air like you just don’t care ) lol
Sometimes they put them down somewhere just before they shed and pick them back up after ( so long as they can remember where they left them )
Also you can buy another Pom Pom crab and he will pinch one of that .
That’s about all I can find at the mo hope this helps
