Porcelain crab question

I have a regular porcelain crab with the dark, blu-ish shell. Can I get one of the white anemone porcelain crabs for my condy or will they fight? I feed one cube of frozen cyclops and two cubes of omega one frozen carnivore mix daily, so food is not an issue.
 
Hi ;)

Normally porcelain crabs are not that heavy territorial, especially not against other species I think. You could try to set a Neopetrolisthes into Your tank. The big claws look impressive but they cannot fight good with them, they are more used to impress than to rampage.

You do mean Neopetrolisthes maculatus, do You? They live on anemones and filter the water there. Other species, maybe Petrolisthes, eventually P. lamarcki, if You talk from blueish, live in rock crevices so normally they should not even meet each other.
 
I have a Petrolisthes, I want to get the Neopetrolisthes for my Condy anemone. I know my clowns won't host it, do you know if the Neopetrolisthes will?
