bta with anemone crab. how to keep it alive
i just got a big BTA from my LFS and there was a little crab in it. its some sort of anemone crab im guessing because its not dead=) its all white with dots of brown orange and black. kind of looks like a jaguar. do i have to target feed it or will it eat scraps from the anemone? and once i get clowns (assuming they host it) will they kick him out? and if he is will he die?
