Porcelain Anemone Crab

[cornyfish]

Hi fellow reefers!

Just saw this little fellow yesterday, wondering if anyone has any experience in keeping it? Does it need an anemone to keep? Also, i read that it is a plankton filter feeder, so wondering what you guys feed it with... cyclop-eeze? Or has anyone been successful in getting it to eat frozen food?

i hv one in my tank. it stays together with 2 common clowns, a ###### shrimp in a carpet anemone. Been with me for abt 3 mths plus... not really sure what it eats as i didnt really target feed it anything... geuss a mature tank required as it does wave its "feathery arms" in the water to capture microorganisms.

read that it does best in pairs.... maybe i'll get another one. Where did u see it bein sold? tx

i have one too. It stays put every since i introduced it to my purple crapet.

I did not feed it, but i put invert food, maybe it works for it too.

It probably catches small food particles with its feelers too

Oh i saw it in one of the pasir ris fish farms, think its known as L35D... in the small packaged plastic bags.

Yup, some of them were anemone crabs, some were harlequin shrimps...
