BTA Under Attack.. 187 on a crab

[Reefvette]

A couple days ago i noticed my new speckled BTA was moving around but it almost looked like it was hiding from a emerald crab i have.

Long story short i had to keep chasing the emerald away from the BTA..

Yesterday morning it was bad a hole ripped down the side of the anemone and the mouth gaping and the spagetios. The other BTA is fine.

I evicted the emerald crab to the LFS... I moved the BTA to a 2.5 gallon tank with some live mysis in it and its not looking good but its looking better... Anyone have any suggestions

I am suspecting a large blue leg hermit or the emerald but im still ****ED......

I did a large water change in case i leaked any toxins into the water. Does anyone any tips like lighting additives that can help or just wait it out.

Also does anyone know why my akinydos clown would attack my rotating powerhead. It was like out of control constant biting till i unplugged and took the powerhear out.......

I would be skeptical moving a BTA into a 2.5 gallon tank even though I know its just for a little while. Just to hard to keep the parameters in check in a 2.5 for anemone liking. If you took the emerald crab out, why did you move the BTA? The more you move it, the more stress you are gonna put on it so I would make sure you are constantly checking the params in the 2.5 and get it out of there ASAP.

Clowns are pretty territorial and he thought the PH was trying to take over his spot.
