Need help with deciding crabs

[Fsarmien]

I want to get a crab for my tank. I'm looking for one that is reef safe and not aggressive. So far I've been looking into the pom pom crab and porcelain anemone crab. Which one do you prefer? Could I have two in one tank? Are there any other recommendations?


Current livestock:
B&W clown
jawfish
yasha goby with pistol shrimp
fireshrimp
2 peppermints

34G red sea max tank.

Why not both as I think a 34g should be big enough? I have a pom pom in my biocube and had a porcelain anemone in my 75g, both were really cool and didn't harm anyone. The anemone crab hung out in my BTAs until my clowns finally showed interest and the female kicked him out.

Oh I wasn't sure if I could keep both. I read a post where someone's pom pom crab died by a pistol shrimp. I think I'll get both.

The pom pom in my 14g biocube has been in there with a tiger pistol without any issues.
