Anemone decorated hermit

[GR808]

Is it safe for a mixed reef tank to have an anemone decorated hermit crab? The crab looks great and all but would the corals be in danger of getting stung by the anemones that are on the hermits shell?

i dont think it would stay in one area long enough for it to sting the corals, how big is it? if its a large hermit, you might be picking up alot of your corals...
