arrow crab attacking anemone?

[txfletch36]

i just bought an arrow crab two days ago and tonight i saw him in my purple tipped sebae anemone and i couldnt tell if he was attackin the sebae or if he is eating stuff that is on the anemone such as food or what? does anyone know if arrow crabs have been known do harm anemones? and does anyone know what the arrow crab was doing?

It was most likely just stealing bits of food from the anemone

He could also be eating its poop. My cleaner shrimp love anemone poop.

shrimps and crabs sometimes dig into the nem's mouth to grab food that the nem just ate...
