My son has one in his tank. It's "very" cool. It just hangs out in an anenome minding it's own business. Come to think of it, I've never seen it anywhere else. I think that's because it depends on the anenome for protection?

I had one it made mine stay closed most of the time .Make sure its not to big for your anemone. .My clowns would not go to the anemone any more either.

If we are talking about porcelain crabs ~ At one time I had one in my 55 gallon tank about 5 years ago. He would sit on the rocks and I used to feed him zooplankton, he would extend his third maxillipeds (those little catchers mits) and catch those little plankton bits and chow down. If I were to ever try another one I'm sure that I would also include cyclopeeze in the diet.
