Can Rock Flower nems be kept with others?

[Crustman]

I bought a anemone crab that was in a Rock flower. Put it on my LtA. Clarkii clown keeps chasing it behind the anemone. I was thinking of getting the rock flower and putting the crab on this. Should I do this? I want to see my crab. Will the clarkii bother the crab and rock flower? Thanks

Where are those awesome macros of the crabs in the carpets? This is why I got the crab

Is your anemone crab of Carib orgin like the Flower would be, assuming you are considering E. crucifer? The Clark will prefer the LTA over a crucifer, but no guarantees he won't keep pesting an anemone crab, or other critters over time.

You have a chance of pulling off your plan, although long term both anemones and the clown will continue to force compromises in critter selections.

Thanks for this. I know what you mean. Got a new coral frag and somehow it got knocked off the rock and into the LTA. I think it is an Acropora millipora.
