1,537. reaction score. 1,380. location. bay area, ca. rating 0%. 0 0 0. all of my clownfish ignore my anemone crabs. they’re fun to watch so i definitely recommend them. I have two btas and one porcelain anemone crab in my 46 gallon tank. the crab was hosting a rbta in the back of my tank for a few months. i then purchased a csb about 3 weeks ago that decided to settle under a rock. fortunately, during the day it pops out front per the below video. two days ago the crab decided to move to the csb.

There is an actual answer to this. with porcelains, when they feel threatened or highly stressed, they will drop a claw. the chief purpose of large claw is to defend their territory and not an issue if they dont have it. as you found out they grow them back. Fully grown porcelain anemone crab is on the smaller end and can reach a maximum size of 6 – 8 cm (~2.4 – 3 inches) across the leg span. carapace length of crabs usually ranges from 2.5 – 3 cm (~1 inch). the body shape is compressed which is an advantage for staying in a stable position in turbulent water. Water quality and parameters. maintaining optimal water quality and parameters is crucial to keeping porcelain crabs healthy and thriving in your marine aquarium. the ideal temperature for these invertebrates is between 72 78°f 3. maintaining a consistent temperature to reduce stress for the crab is essential. 241. reaction score. 224. location. earth. rating 0%. 0 0 0. i got a porcelain crab yesterday and put it in at first it was in the anemones (rock flowers) and they both seemed fine over night the crab moved to the return overflow area i’ve moved the crab back and the crab is fine on the anemone but the anemone is mostly closed up is that.

Like the bubble tip anemone, it will likely host a range of clownfish species. long tentacle anemones will do best in well established reef tanks (i.e. 1 years), which need to be at least 30 gallons in size. minimum tank size: 30 gallons. maximum size: 20” diet: carnivore. care level: moderate. reef safe: yes. condy anemones. The ideal temperature range for anemones is between 76 and 78°f and the salinity should remain at a stable specific gravity between 1.024 and 1.026. levels of phosphate, ammonia and nitrite should be as close to 0 as possible and nitrate should be no more than 2 ppm.
