Anemone crab?

[miniwhinny]

I'm wondering if you should get an anemone crab when you get an anemone? Do the crabs help to keep the nem healthy ( I read they eat the shedding slime) Are they a good addition or not really necessary?

Thanks.

Well if you get one, rule out your clownfish hosting in it. The anemone crab most likely won't let a clown in.

They aren't necessary. I had one, but he was banned to a different tank when I caught him munching on the anemone's tentacles. He shared the anemone with my percula clowns before he got banned with no problems.
