GBTA w/new crab

[Flightpipe]

I have a GBTA and he finally got settled in and had not moved for a month. Well my GF decided she REALLY wanted a anemone crab so after some negotiations ect I now have a nem crab. My Nem is MAD! he has moved and is acting like he is trying to get away from it.

Will he get used to it and accept it like a clown or is the just a horrible idea? Do many other people have these crabs in their nems?

How big is the anemone in comparison to the crab?

ummmmm. nem 6-8" fully open crab 1/2"

While he was moving around it looks like get brushed up against my torch so now it is very angry. Im thinking this crab was a bad idea.

If it is irritating the anemone to the extent that you describe, I would remove it ASAP. I doubt the crab will kill the anemone, but at the rate things are going, it may cause the anemone to kill itself (accidentally, of course).

I would isolate the crab for a while see if the anemone stops moving around etc... It may just be a fluke that he is moving right after adding the crab. I have one that hangs out in my bta and it doesn't mind it at all, much less invasive than hosting a clownfish.
