Pompom crab? 👀
Have you seen the pom pom crab (Genus: Lybia)
I have now
Yes, in photos/videos
Yes, irl
I'm not sure
It looks like there are 9 species of pom pom crab! The photos for this poll are specifically of Lybia tessellata.
World Oceans Day is coming up and @seaunseenzine has another edition coming out in a few weeks!

Pom Pom Crab Appreciation Post
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)."
