I love those little crabs. It should be fine. The only problem I can think of is if you have a clownfish, they may battle over the anemone.

Sorry, can't resist posting this pic of our porcelain crab that lived in the carpet anemone for quite some time. That's where they like to live, in an anemone. Notice the fan they have on their claw; they wave it to catch dinner. I couldn't find the original pic; this is the one I use to introduce the details of our tank systems.

I have no idea. Ours stayed on top of or barely below the rim all the time. Two peppermint shrimp also stayed on the underside near the stalk of this carpet anemone except at night when they went hunting.

I just found a better pic of the porcelain crab! Hope you all don't mind....
(this is dated...the porcelain crab lived close to a year. We never could find another like it with the waving hand...even though others we found were called porcelain crabs--they looked and acted differently from this one.) |

You'll have no problem with your porcelain living in your Condy. Mine does with no problems. It's definitely my favorite crab!

mine get along great. the only problem I have seem is when I feed blender mush and the crab and the condi tend to fight over it..besides that all is good. The crab tend to watch out for the condi when it is in a withdrawl mode..
