Anemone Crab Info?

[falconut]

From the limited information I've been able to find, they are supposed to be reef safe and don't require any special feedings. Is this correct? I currently feed my fish frozen mysis, frozen brine, prime reef flakes, Hikari S pellets, Formula 2 flakes and occationally Cyclop-eeze.

Does anybody currently have one of these in their reef? Are they really reef safe and will they simply eat the same food as the fish. Are there any special requirements for them?

I had one. They are totally harmless and reef safe. They filter feed so they may need supplemental feedings.

I had one in 55 gallon tank with my haddons anemone. They will never leave the anemone and unless you have one it will hide and you will never see it. I think I would take a little fish food and grind it with a mortar and pestel and then use a turkey baster to spray over the anemone so that the crab can feed.
