Anemone Shrimp/Crabs....

fishguy_8 · 05-28-2002, 07:52 PM

Will anemone shrimp/crabs take to any anemone? My boss at school has a Condy Anem and I was telling him he should diversify w/ these guys but I told him I'd ask around about them to make sure these guys didnt get the shaft. Whats the deal w/ these guys.....anyone keeping them? Any fish that would eat 'em? All advice would be great. If they'd take to some other coral maybe I'd even invest in them....I like inverts

We have had a few porcelain crabs aka anemones crabs. We had one in each of our tanks and they could always be found in our flower anemones. Never tried any other type of anemones. They ate whatever we put in the tank. I would be watchful of wrasses if you have them in the same tank. We had a rather large lunre (sp) wrasse and he wiped out our entire crab/snail population including the anemone crab. I say get one they are very interesting to watch, especially when they feed.
