Boxer Crab

I have an opportunity to pick up a boxer crab (complete with anenomes) for my 55g FOWLR which houses only a mandarin and a false percula clownfish. Anything I should consider before pulling the trigger?
 
Only that you will probably never see it again! :) haha just kidding. Do you have a lot of rockwork? I put one in back in January and that was the last I saw of it for 6 months. I thought it was dead until I saw it last week! When I started with half the amount of rock I would see it sometimes because it had nowhere to hide. But they seem to do well in my tank. How much are they selling them for?

I found him for $20...haven't found another to compare that price against.
 
They are neat to look at and I don't think they can do any harm to your tank. I had one in my reef and did not have any problems....I think you got a fair price too :)
 
well I got mine for 6 bucksm but the lady didnt know what it was. I didnt see i for a week, then it lost its anenome's. then something killede it or it just died. I have a huge coral banded shrimp that is territorial(took a chunk out of my finget when I put my hand in my tank) that may have got to him. They are neat though
 
I put one in my tank a month ago w/ no Pom Poms. I see it from time to time just before lights out. It found something that it is using in place of its anemone. I don't know what it is though. Get the crab. It will be a nice addition to your tank.
