crab with anemone on back???

[st3]

i bought one and was wondering if he will get along with my anemones and corals.

If it is a decorator crab then they like to take peaices of coral, maybe anenomes, and "decorate" themselves. You didn't say what kind of crab it was. It is also wise to find these things out before you purchase it.

There is a crab that does that{dont remember the name}for defence and there is a symbiotic relationship bettween the two.
