anemone crab and clownfish

[nrbelk]

Will an anemone crab and clownfish co-host or will there be fighting if there is only one anemone to host in?

The clownfish are already established so the anemone crab would be the newcomer.

I'm not set on getting it, just thinking it would be cool if they will live together alright. If not, then I'm happy with my clownfish and will just have to wait for an anemone crab.

IME, they don't mix -- when my clowns switched anemones, to one that had a crab in it, the crab was kicked out. I ended up selling the clowns for other reasons and just have the crab back in its S. Haddoni.

thanks for the info, I won't try it then.

Kind of sad cause those crabs look way cool, especially how they use those fan arms to grab food out of the water column (or so I think that is what they are doing....)

i have a sebae anemone thats about a foot in diameter. i started with a porcelain crab in it and then added a clownfish. no problem. they've been living together for a almost a year now

do they stay on opposite sides? Like your half vs my half?

I bet theres a line carved in the anemone.
