Clowns cant host occupied Anemone

[Alec Meacham]

Hey guys, Ive had my clownfish+Anemone for about 6 months now, about 3 months ago i got an Anemone crab because i didnt think my clowns were planning on hosting, they are now. (Swimming in and out, swimming through, etc) But the Anemone Crab does not like the visitors, i would much rather the clowns host.. Any suggestions?

The clowns can take on the crab probably. I would give it time. It seems like trying to force situations with anemones never works well. I would let it sort itself out.

I did have a white Porcelain Crab and A. Clarkii coexist in my reef once, but it was in a large H. magnifica. In that case the crab also came first. A surprise I found after I bought the anemone.

I have a RBTA And its rather large, but so are my clowns, im sure all 3 could fit just fine, worse case scenario i figure ill just put the crab in my 20 :shrug:
