I was thinking of putting about 5 of each in my 6gal nano. What i was wondering what kind(s) of anemone are best for these guys to hang out by? Any cool anemones that would look kool with these guys keeping safe by it? Would they be compatible with each other at the same anemone or would i need multiple? Also would harlequin shrimp bother the anemone shrimp or crabs? Also i have brown algea growing on my anemone crabs how do i stop it from growing on them?

There are a whole lot of species of anemone shrimps and crabs. Some are picky about which anemones they will accept as hosts while others aren't. Also aggression varies by species. We need to know more about which species you plan to get before we can make suggestions for anemones. Also, 10 in a 6 gallon tank is super crowded. Typically you'll find maybe 3-4 shrimp at the most on a 2 ft. anemone, which would completely fill such a small tank. The small anemones don't host any shrimp very often and when they do it's usually not more than 1.
