Is it safe to get Maroon clowns with a porcelain crab hosting my green Bubble tip?
I have recently purchased a Green BTA so that it can get established in my 55 gallon reef tanks which has been doing very well this year. Now that my anemone is happy ive noticed my white porcelain crab has begun hosting it. Although very cool and seems to make the anemone happy it attacks everything that gets near the anemone. I guess my problem is I originally got it so that once established I would introduce my maroon clowns ive been wanting to get. My question is will my porcelain crab scare the clowns away and what can I do to change this?

maroons are very aggressive to everything. say good bye to the crab. but any clown is going to evict that crab from the bta. anemones are very hard to keep anyway.

The real question is why anyone would want a maroon clown. I've lost two other fish from the aggression of mine.
I'd certainly recommend a different clown than maroon.

The maroons will most likely evict the crab from the anemone.

Here is a list of clown and anenome compatibility.
