Hi Reefers,

I have an anemone, a couple torches and a frogspawn. Currently, my clownfish is being hosted by the Frogspawn. I want to add an anemone crab, will this be fine because the clown chose a different coral? If the clown ever decides the BTA is the way to go, will the crab ever settle for something else to host it?

Thanks

To my knowledge the crab will accept lets say a torch or a frogspawn, but the coral usually doesn't want to accept them. In most cases I have read is the crab gets the boot from the anemone if the clowns decided to host it. On a few occasions (I assume if the nem is big enough) they all will be in there without any issues.

this thread might be of some assistance.

Also, anemone crabs are not required to have a nem. they just generally do better with it.
