Hi
I got a new Cat's paw the other day found 2 looks like anemone crabs in there and dug them out. I have them in a bowl, need to know if they are reef safe.
They are about the same size 1" across and a pink color.
I noticed a couple mushrooms missing this p.m.
Thank you
 
They are harmless, and need an anemone to hide among to avoid being attacked. Liquid invertebrate foods are sufficient and the crab attains the food by filtering the water using their specially modified claws.

Nacogdoches are you? Anyway, I would take them to the LFS.
