anyone have a teddy bear crab that they sell on this site?

I am just wondering what they are like, temperament, etc. Do they come out very often? I have porcelain crabs but I NEVER see them, I would like to have a crab I can actually see once in a while!

I have a teddy bear crab that came with some live rock. For about 8 months now, I've seen it twice for the total of 1 minute. It came out when the light is just out. Once you shine a flashlight on it, it hide.

Mine does not hold an anemone.

I have heard that teddy bear crabs are not reef safe, so make sure you keep an eye on the lil bugger.
