Staghorn Crab

I've had this cute lil fella for about 2 weeks now. I'm keeping him in my fuge, so his coral doesn't get stung by him bumping into other corals in my reef tanks. I'm a bit worried about the tips of the staghorn. They seem to be receding. What do I need to do to keep this coral on his back healthy? The only lighting on the fuge is a 65wt PC spiral bulb.

These guys are cool, but I have never had sucess keeping them in the long term (I have tried a few). I my experience they will get stuck and leave the coral and take up residence in a snail shell. I actually grew the hydrocoral for about 4 months after one of the crabs left, but then it dissapeared.
