I love my boxing crabs. I have 2 of them and they are a great addition to my tank. Looking to buy another 4 for the nano I'm setting up.

No he does not. at least not at this moment. All the inhabitants are to big for him to eat. Though he's constantly sizing them up.
Hes' gonna get moved to my 55 in the next few weeks. And as far as corals he doesn't harm a soul.Got lucky and he eat flakes. My black volitan on the other hand does not.

The boxing crabs I got had their anemones with them. All I do is feed brine shrimp to them and they come out and gorge themselve by jabbing the brine shrimp as they swim by. Really funny to watch these "boxers" in action. They so far have ignored my other invertabrates.

I just maintain good water quality and supply it with high lighting. LOL that's pretty much anywhere I place it in my display tank which has a 250W metal halide and 300W of acthinc VHOs.

I'm not using a skimmer. But I would suggest that you would use one. For the fuge I just have my overflow drain into the fuge tank and then it's has a mini 1.5 gal sump that the fuge overflows into for the return. Inside the fuge I have about 125 lbs of liverock and 10 mangrove stalks. There's a auto topoff valve for my RO/DI water. I dose with B-ionic daily and kent marine coral-vite semiweekly.
I need the auto topoff because I have 2 gals of evaporation daily due to the high lighting. I use a couple of fans to cool the tank down. NOT an exact science on the cooling but it works.
