    My BTA has been doing hunky dory til I decided to add a little friend for him. Unfortunately after a couple days the anemone crab seems to not be impressing his host! The crab was very happy to latch onto the BTA, but BTA has been staying mostly all shrunk up and has yet to come back out to completely unfold. The BTA has come out a couple of times, but not like he used too. I'm beginning to get concerned and have two questions: Are anemone crabs not meant for BTAs? Is my BTA just not a fan of crabs??? The way that crab holds onto the BTA I'm not even sure how I could get it out of there w/out him damaging the BTA :confused:

    Takes certain kind of crab with certain kind of anemone.

    Sounds like you do not have correct matchup.

    Getting crab out going to be tough.

    Small glass "baited" jar near anemone may get him.


    Good luck.
