    LOL, probalbly been stung a bit ,though crabs have exo-skelitons there's soft parts to it.. probably been whammo'd...by the anemone.

    Course jokingly i say > how would you feel if you were being swallowed whole ?...lol

    Hey so he's still alive..
    Just not 100% .
    He's under the sand, anything i can do to make him feel better?
    It was a bulb anenome, did it just pump him full of venom or something?

    he should recover eventually, make sure he is eating, if you feed him, and just let him recuperate on his own, dont add to his stress
