Porcelain crabs with Maxi Mini carpets?

[ThRoewer]

Does any one have a porcelain anemone crab in a maxi mini?
I tried to get my porcelain crab to pair up with my S. tapetum but it didn't like it and walked away:

I'm wondering now if this is just my crab missing the crispa or if they never go into maxi minis?

No problem

Yours is the precise same pairing...

So it looks my anemone dwelling creatures - with the sole exception of the sexy shrimp - are either too picky or just stupid:
The percula prefer a flower pot (or green star polyps) over an anemone and the crab rather sits on a powerhead or the frag rack below the skimmer :headwally:

Well, next time I get a gig. If that doesn't suit them then I don't know anymore...

Give it time and don't push them

The new crab I got from LA took it right away and hasn't left it ever since:

It happily shares it with my sexy shrimp pair

Very cool to see them living together! My porcelain crab shares a BTA with my pair of clowns...I heard that the clowns will chase them out sometimes but they've been living together happily for a while now!

My crab found the anenome within hours and hasn't left since. The anenome moved recently to another rock and the crab went with it.

So after living for a while in the Maxi Mini the crab decided it wasn't the right place for it and left it. I
t now resides below the powerheads - stupid sh#@& :headwalls:

My anemone crab pair now resides in the malu. The male, despite being smaller, had the female kicked out for a week but she returned ad showed him who is the boss. Interestingly she rather roamed the tank than settle in the Mini Maxi that I have in that tank as well.
