    no it shouldnt i think, they also just live around rock and such and are very peaceful. they are just really cool to watch and also like shrimp help clean up un eaten food off the rocks and bottom. mine climbs on and around my whole tank and corals.

    oh okay...b.c i just went to live aquaria and it saids::


    ""Porcelain Anemone Crabs live together in pairs under the protection of an anemone. It may attempt to defend its territory from clownfish that try to establish themselves among the anemone, although the clownfish generally prevails. It is aggressive toward conspecifics, and should not be kept with larger, aggressive crabs which may attack it. ""

    Did you consider getting a skunk cleaner shrimp? They aren't shy and won't likely become a meal for any of your fish. They'll help clean some fish of parasites, they are generally out more during the day, and I think they look great. You've got plenty of room for at least 2 in your new bowfront (I'm jealous). I've got 1 skunk cleaner shrimp ($25) and 3 peppermint shrimp (3/$15 deal - $5 each) and they are all happy. The peppermint shrimp spend most of the day upside-down on/in the liverock "caves". Post pics of whatever you get!

    the fire shrimps are asome, but like msot said they are shy unless you have multiples, i heard that if you have multiples of shrimps they will come out more also, my freind has 2 cleaners and a fire shrimp, and they jsut ahng out together, they are said to cleaner, but the skunk cleaner shrimp will do much better job at it.
