I was wondering is there a species (similar to pompom crab) where they carry anemones / corals and they actually live. I've heard decorator crabs cut off zoans but do the polys live or just die? I really want a moving tiny reef so please tell me anything ASAP thx ^^

Dardanus Pedunculatus. He will get pretty big,up to 4 inches.

I don't know enough about crabs to make a suggestion on which species, but I don't think anything that takes polyps of their rock and moves them around would be considered reef safe. Just something to consider.
You could always glue a couple of zoas to a hermit shell. Or even a small softy to a large snail shell and frag it when it gets too big :)
