Porcelain Crab And Maxi-Mini Anemone?

[reefwisher]

Been thinking about getting a porcelain anemone crab for my maxi-mini. I would like to know if this is a good idea or not.I have read some articles where it like a 50-50 chance they will go together. My lfs says that the crabs will likely sit on the anemone, is this good or not. I mean I would'nt like someone sitting on me. If it did'nt work out will the crab still be OK without an anemone. My maxi-mini is at 5" in diameter.

If it doesn't work the crab should be alright as long as it has a good place to hide. Before my porcelain crab found his Sebae he hid around my rocks showing off his fans to get some food.

You will have better chances if you release the crab VERY close to the anemone... or else he may never explore the tank enough to find it (if its comfortable.. like mine is in the back of the tank... exactly where he was released)
